This book gives a comprehensive overview of recent advances in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, as well as general concepts of infections, immunopathology, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and etiology. It examines current clinical recommendations in the management of HPV, highlighting the ongoing issues, recent advances, and future directions in diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies. The book focuses on various aspects and properties of HPV, whose deep understanding is very important for safeguarding the human race from further loss of resources and economies due to HPV infection. I hope that this work will increase the interest in this field of research and that the readers will find it useful for their investigations, management, and clinical usage.

Cancer care delivery refers to the multiple layers of the health care system that interact to affect outcomes for patients with cancer and the quality of that care. The factors included in the care delivery system that potentially alter outcomes include social dynamics, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, provider and individual behaviors. Because women’s health care has its own unique challenges, the intersection between cancer care delivery and women’s health is to be examined in this Frontiers in Oncology issue. The unique opportunities and challenges of improving the health care system for women with breast and gynecologic cancers are to be explored in depth. We will visit many topics of cancer care delivery with the unique perspective geared towards the care of women’s malignancies.

Ukraine is amid a comprehensive health sector reform to transform the current unaffordable and inefficient system into a modern, more efficient, and affordable one. The country's health system is not addressing non-communicable diseases (NCD) and chronic conditions effectively, and NCD-related health outcomes compare relatively poorly to countries with a similar level of health financing. The paper analyzed the continuum of care for four conditions (hypertension, diabetes, breast, and cervical cancer) using the cascade framework as an analytical tool and programmatic data from two regions of Ukraine (Lviv and Poltava). It draws on global evidence of good and cost-efficient practices and includes the findings from guided discussions with Ukrainian health care planners, administrators, and providers. The analysis found significant gaps in detection, treatment monitoring, and treatment adherence in hypertension care (the largest breakpoints were blood pressure monitoring and achieving treatment targets) and similarly in diabetes care (underdiagnosis, inappropriate or incomplete treatment monitoring, sub-optimal treatment success). In breast cancer care, there was inadequate screening coverage among eligible women, post-screening losses, and a lack of documentation regarding treatment outcomes. In cervical cancer care, the screening intervals for covered women were short, creating inefficiencies, while many women were not screened despite program eligibility, and there was also a lack of long-term monitoring of women who had undergone treatment. The authors discuss the methodological approach of analyzing routine medical records and cancer registry data and triangulating data across multiple data sources. Important lessons and policy implications include the need to revise sequence of services, focus on follow up and retention in care, develop systems for managing risk factors, and strengthen the monitoring and data recording of NCD cases. Improved NCD care would save lives, reduce disability, save resources in health care, and reduce the impact of NCDs on individuals and society.

This volume provides a broad background of the basic sciences, clinical and therapeutic aspects, and management of uterine cervical cancer. It offers state-of-the-art information on the molecular genetics, biology, and clinical aspects of premalignant lesions of the uterine cervix, and provides a better understanding of the molecular and cellular events that underlie uterine cervical cancer. Uterine Cervical Cancer: Clinical and Therapeutic Perspectives contains extensive, updated information on the promising new developments in the diagnosis and management of uterine cervical cancer. It will serve as an invaluable resource for all clinicians and basic medical scientists caring for women with uterine cervical cancer, including attending surgeons, physicians, clinical fellows, and residents in the disciplines of gynecologic oncology, medical oncology, and surgical oncology.
