Two large, landmark radiotherapy studies have shown that it is possible to treat cervical cancer effectively with high doses specifically adapted to each tumor, and with fewer serious side-effects to the surrounding normal organs. In two presentations today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) researchers will tell the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) that image-guided brachytherapy is able to deliver very high doses, which prevent the tumor from growing...
polyDNA recommends Gene-Eden-VIR for people concerned about the relationship between asymptomatic HPV infection and lung cancer. Rochester, NY (PRWEB) April 21, 2013 Almost everyone knows that HPV can cause genital warts and even cervical cancer. As it turns out, new research shows that the same strains of HPV that can cause cervical cancer may also trigger lung cancer. (1) It is important to note that while cervical cancer has warning signs such as cervical displasia, lung cancer often...

Throat cancers on the rise due to epidemic of HPV infection TORONTO, April 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Researchers in London, Ontario, are conducting a first-ever clinical trial to determine which treatment option gives patients with throat cancers the best quality of life. These cancers are dramatically on the rise due to the epidemic of HPV (human papilloma virus) infection. Surgeon Dr Anthony Nichols and radiation oncologist Dr David Palma at the Lawson Research Centre have received a...
Certain types of papilloma virus might actually prevent cervical cancer, according to a new study by researchers from The University of Manchester. There are over 100 different types of human papilloma virus (HPV). Cervical cancer is known to be caused by infection with approximately 14 so-called “high-risk” types of this virus. Researchers from Manchester looked at the different types of HPV found in cervical smears and invasive cervical cancers from HIV positive and HIV negative...
In women who have a potentially or mildly abnormal cervical smear, using a DNA-based test can identify those at higher risk of having precursors of cervical cancer, according to a new Cochrane systematic review. The authors found that the DNA-based test identified patients in possible need of treatment more accurately than a repeat smear test. Cervical smear ("Pap") tests are carried out to identify women who might be at high risk of developing cervical cancer. Cells collected in the smear...
New, non-invasive molecular diagnostic test is easy, fast, and accurate SAN DIEGO, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trovagene, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROV), today announced the commercial availability of its urine-based HPV-HR (high-risk) assay, a molecular human papillomavirus (HPV) test.

Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Concerns about safety and side effects of receiving the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine have left many parents guarded about offering the option to their teenage daughters, even with increased recommendations by health experts. Paul Darden, MD, of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, and colleagues have found that more than 40 percent of parents reported in 2010 that they did not plan to vaccinate their teen...
A new study says that smokers have more signs of HPV related cancer. polyDNA recommends Gene-Eden-VIR as a remedy against the HPV virus. Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 17, 2013 "Smokers have an increased risk of developing precancerous and cancerous cervical lesions caused by infection with high-risk HPV types."(Sexually Transmitted Diseases) [1] The same study suggested that the risk of developing genital warts is not as readily apparent if one happens to be a smoker. The authors...

The Colposcopy is a preventive procedure to identify a possible abnormal cells or tissue on the cervix, vagina and vulva. By illuminating and magnifying the area with a coloscope during the examination, areas of concern can be identified earlier by the colposcopist. The procedure was developed by a German physician Hans Hinselmann in 1925 with the help of Dr. Helmut Wirths. Cause for the Procedure This examination has multiple candidates. If a patient has been a victim of a sexual...
