Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
HPV disease is a significant health problem worldwide. In developed countries, where cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates have decreased significantly, precancerous changes in the cervix, vulva, and vagina remain a major problem. Medicine is constantly searching for newer solutions—diagnostic tools that will most precisely identify patients with the highest risk of high-grade precancerous cervical lesions and, as a consequence, cervical cancer. The discoveries of the last 50 years have significantly influenced the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. The first milestone was the detection of HPV by Professor Harald zur Hausen, followed by the creation of prophylactic vaccines against HPV and the introduction of HPV-dependent screening for cervical cancer. In the field of oncological gynecology, the biggest challenge in the coming decades will be the diagnosis and treatment of SIL-type lesions—involving the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus. Especially important is the diagnosis and treatment of persistent infection with highly oncogenic HPV types. At the moment, several molecular tests have been implemented to detect the genetic material of the virus embedded in the genome of the host cell. As doctors, we must also be prepared for the diagnosis and treatment of independent HPV diseases, where liquid LBC or even conventional cytology may undergo a renaissance and may be the tool of choice when there is a lack of replication in tissues.
