Origins of Female Genital Cancer: Virological and Epidemiological Aspects, 1985-04-14 - 1985-04-17
File
Scope and Contents
Cervical cancer remains a major neoplastic cause of death among women worldwide.
Identification of its cause would thereby present a major step toward
understanding and potentially controlling this important neoplastic disease.
Recent advances in molecular virology, in combination with ongoing epidemiological
approaches, now seem to make this goal highly feasible. It was thus felt
that bringing together the virological, epidemiological, and clinical communities
concerned could be...
