In cervical cancer screening, several trials have shown that human papillomavirus (HPV) testing or combined HPV testing and cytology leads to earlier detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia Grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) compared with cytology alone. However, the availability of similar evidence in our country remains limited. In 2013, 34 local governments were selected to administer a cervical cancer screening program utilizing either cytology alone or in combination with HPV testing. We planned a cohort study to assess the effectiveness of HPV testing as a modality for cervical cancer screening. The primary outcome of this study was the incidence of CIN3+ in each group, as well as to assess the risks and benefits of receiving screening for women in both groups. These results will contribute to elucidating the details of the positive and negative impacts of introducing HPV testing into a population-based cervical cancer screening program in Japan.

Background And Aim: Papillomaviruses (PVs) infections have been documented in numerous animal species across different regions worldwide. They often exert significant impacts on animal health and livestock production. Scientists have studied natural products for over half a century due to their diverse chemical composition, acknowledging their value in fighting cancer.

Objective: To assess rates of histologically negative large loop excisions of the transformation zone (LLETZ) and potential predictive factors within a single UK Colposcopy Unit.
Design: Retrospective cohort study SETTING: Jessop Wing Colposcopy Unit, Sheffield, U.K.
Background: Cervical cancer is still a significant global health issue, espacially in low- and middle-income countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is known to be the primary etiological factor in the development of cervical cancer. The identification of high-risk HPV infections in cervical screening is becoming crucial for early detection and management of cervical pre-neoplasia.

Background: Induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by chemoradiation (CRT) is one treatment approach for patients with locoregionally advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). This pilot study aimed to assess whether a circulating tumor (ct) DNA assay outperforms PET-CT in assessing treatment response in patients with HPV + OPSCC treated with induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by chemoradiation (CRT).
Materials And Methods: Patients treated with IC and definitive CRT for HPV + OPSCC were included.

Approximately 80 million US adults-one in four-are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cancers of the cervix in women, cancers of the anus, penis, and throat in men, and genital warts in both sexes. Although HPV vaccinations are safe, effective, easily affordable, and readily available, a substantial percentage of parents resist recommendations to vaccinate their children against HPV. The current study tests the effects of different vaccination advocacy message strategies on attitudes toward HPV vaccination.
