Description
This volume reviews the evidence for a casual link between sexually transmitted infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) and the occurrence of cervical cancer from a variety of different angles. Epidemiological studies are surveyed and clinical, pathological and cytological aspects of HPV infection are reviewed. Modern methods for analyzing for HPV-DNA types by molecular biological techniques are described and the statistical problems to be overcome in epidemiologic work are explained. The chapters have been prepared by a team of international specialists who met in Copenhagen in March 1988 in order to reach a consensus on the present state of research in this field and to establish directions for future work.
