Web Focus on Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

It is now well established that infection with 'high risk' strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) significantly increases risk of developing cervical cancer. Strains 16 and 18 alone are implicated in ~70% of cervical cancer cases. Recent advances in HPV screening methods and the availability of vaccination have made HPV a "Hot topic" in both research and the media; this web focus brings together a selection of key articles recently published by BJC in this field.

Trends and inequalities in survival for 20 cancers in England and Wales 1986-2001: population-based analyses and clinical commentaries

This Cancer Research UK supplement provides important new information and commentary on survival rates for the 20 most common cancers diagnosed in England and Wales over a 14-year period from 1986 to 1999. The analyses are based on data collected by cancer registries on 2.2 million cancer patients. The authors have assessed both trends in survival rates over time and inequalities in survival between groups of patients with different levels of deprivation. The unique pairing of epidemiology and expert clinical analysis should provide a complete picture of the state of cancer survival and cancer care in England and Wales.
