Description
EUROGIN (European Research Organistation on Genital Infection and Neoplasia) brings together clinicians and scientists who work on genital infections and their relationship to cancer. The aim is to promote and develop research, training, screening, prevention and information on genital infections, precancers and cancers in women. This book reviews the latest developments in the epidemiology, natural history and screening of cervical cancer. It also deals with management of cervical cancer, the development of vaccines against human papilloma virus - its major
