Use of both a Pap smear and an HPV test did not identify more cervical cancers than HPV testing alone.

Persistent HPV 16/18 infection correlated with higher locoregional relapse, overall relapse, and was also associated with early relapses in women with locally advanced cervical cancers treated with radical radiochemotherapy.

Alexandra Taylor, MD, discusses the advances with targeted therapies in endometrial cancer, as well as the challenges that still exist in the treatment and management of patients with advanced disease.

Results from a systemic review and meta-analysis of data collected from nearly 45,000 women treated for cervical precancer found that high-risk HPV posttreatment was a more accurate predictor of treatment failure than incomplete rescission.
