Synopsis

The European Research Organisation on Genital Infection and Neoplasia (or EUROGIN) brings together clinicians and scientists who work on genital infections and their relationship to cancer. The aim of EUROGIN 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, development of vaccines against the human papilloma virus (its major causative agent), and new technologies such as automated screening, HPV Testing and adjuvant tests to cytology.

The final and most important part of the book is a lengthy list of guidelines developed by these EUROGIN experts: a major outcome for which the meetings are held.
