Description
/li>
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection transcends multiple fields of science
and medicine. The management of HPV-related disease is demanding and often
requires a persistent multimodal approach involving various medical
disciplines. In this volume, experts present a comprehensive view of HPV
research with an emphasis on clinical presentations, diagnosis, management
and vaccine development. The state of the art in molecular biology is
provided in addition to discussions on clinical morphology and the utility
of dermatoscopy in identifying HPV disease. In a multidisciplinary
approach to dermatological, plastic and reconstructive, gynecological,
otolaryngological and colorectal management, different treatment
strategies are highlighted. Finally, Dr. Neil Christensen discusses viral
immunology, and the difficulties and successes in the development of an
HPV vaccine. Bringing together basic science and clinical information on
HPV, this book is an excellent resource and reference for all researchers
and clinicians who encounter human papillomavirus-related disease.
