HPV Vaccine Could Remove Cancerous Lesions

A small study recently found that the human papillomavirus vaccine could reverse cancerous lesions and effectively treat the aftermath of the infection. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Nov. 18.

Out of the 20 women who participated in the study, nearly half of the women showed no signs of the disease two years after the shots. The vaccine eased symptoms and shrank or completely removed lesions of precancerous tissue in 79 percent of patients one year after treatment. Researchers are hopeful that the study could develop into an alternative to the painful surgeries used to remove the lesions.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention estimates that half of all men and women contract genital HPV during their lifetimes.

Your readers may be interested in the book “The HPV Vaccine Controversy: Sex, Cancer, God and Politics” authored by Shobha S. Krishnan, M.D, Barnard college, Columbia University. It is available at amazon.com and Barnes and Noble .com and is written without the influence of any pharmaceutical company or special interest groups. The book educates both professionals and the public about HPV infections, the diseases they cause and the role/ controversies surrounding the new vaccines. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA, June 17th 2009) calls the book superb and a terrific contribution to the field.
