Study reveals variability in physician intentions and recommendations on HPV vaccination
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center surveyed 1,008 physicians seeking their knowledge, recommendation beliefs and information on their practices regarding the controversial human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which is aimed at preventing cancers resulting from sexually transmitted HPV infection. Of the physicians surveyed, 112 provided additional comments at the conclusion of the ...
Radiotherapy Alone Better For HPV-Positive Throat Cancer Patients Than HPV-Negative Patients
New findings from a large Danish database of cancer patients suggest that, even though the human papilloma virus (HPV) can trigger throat cancer, patients who are HPV-positive and are light smokers, or don't smoke at all, have a good response to treatment using radiotherapy alone, without the addition of chemotherapy ...
HPV-positive throat cancer patients respond better to radiotherapy alone than HPV-negative patients
(European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)) New findings from a large Danish database of cancer patients suggest that, even though the human papilloma virus (HPV) can trigger throat cancer, patients who are HPV-positive and are light smokers, or don't smoke at all, have a good response to treatment using ...
HPV Vaccine Completion Rate Among Girls Is Poor, Getting Worse
The proportion of insured girls and young women completing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among those who initiated the series has dropped significantly - as much as 63 percent - since the vaccine was approved in 2006, according to new research from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in ...
Study reveals steepest decline in HPV vaccine completion among girls

HPV-Infected Cancer Cells Killed By Small Molecular Bodyguards
Researchers at The Wistar Institute announce the discovery of small molecules that kill cancer cells caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Their results, in both cell and mouse models, demonstrate that the small molecule inhibitors protect a tumor-suppressing protein targeted by viral proteins, thus killing the infected tumor ...
