This book is a review of HPV infection in cervical cancer and provides the background to the potential for immunological intervention. It will appeal to clinicians, virologists, cell and molecular biologists, and immunologists who are involved in the study of the molecular and biological basis for the role of HPV in cervical lesions.
Cervical cancer is a major disease worldwide, with 500,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Through aetiological studies, an association has been established with HPV infection throughout the pathological spectrum of this disease. A timely review of HPV infection in cervical cancer, this book provides the background to the potential for immunological intervention.
Basic background is provided, ensuring the book's accessibility to all. Each chapter is integrated so that the book as a whole provides a detailed insight into the most relevant scientific issues of HPV and cervical cancer. This book will provide an interface for students, scientists and clinicians with a realistic and critical evaluation of the advances and problems in the implementation of immunologically based prophylactic and therapeutic strategies in HPV-associated disease.
