FOREWORD
This volume covers the outstanding research developments in Human
Papillomavirus Infection and Cervical Neoplasia Prevention presented
during the Eurogin 2003 International Congress on the Global Challenge of
Cervical Cancer Prevention, held in Paris on April 13-16, 2003. The
programme of the congress was devised to provide valuable information to
delegates, thanks to the participation of internationally renowned
specialists.
During the conference, emphasis was put on the
importance of integrating basic and clinical research into cervical cancer
screening and prevention and on the need for international collaboration
and epidemiological studies.
The strateggering pace of new technology has enabled
investigators in both academia and industry to develop innovative
approaches to solving many of the problems that have bedevilled
gynecologists and pathologists for years. HPV DNA detection technology has
improved by orders of magnitude and may be useful for primary screening:
computers can screen Paps better than cytotechnologists; probes that can
be used in the office promise real time cervical neoplasia detection
opportunities; Pap smears using fluid-based systems have significantly
improved sensitivity; and probes for mitosis-associated proteins and other
molecular tests are being evaluated for potential use in detecting HPV
related lesions. Even the holy grail of prevention rather than treatment
of HPV caused diseases may become a reality through HPV vaccination. At
the same time, new treatment modalities are being evaluated and are likely
to lead to new management algorithms. Immune modulators and new topical
cytostatic formulations may make medical rather than ablative or
excisional procedures a reality.
While this fantastic technology is being pursued in the
developed countries, women in low resource settings continue to die from
genital tract cancers at an alarming rate. The problems relating to money,
infrastructure, competing needs, a political indifference frequently seem
insurmountable. But investigators in a dozen countries are systematically
exploring better, easier, and less expensive ways to screen underserved
women for cervical neoplasia and to treat their disease when it is
detected. These studies mesh well with advances in service delivery, and
they may all come together in the near future to provide at least partial
solutions to what was thought to be intractable problems.
We trust that the latest technological and
pharmaceutical advances presented in the scientific programme will enable
participants to identify current-day problems and provide them with the
opportunity of developing a practical policy.
The international and multidisciplinary participation
of delegates was a particularly stimulating feature. We would like to
extend grateful thanks to the contributors and exhibitors for their
generous support as well as to the organizing committee for their devoted
efforts and to Monduzzi Editions for publishing these proceedings.
