TL;DR: The findings suggest that attempts to exploit the association between cervical neoplasia and HPV infection to improve effectiveness of cervical screening programmes might be undermined by the limited inferences that can be drawn from the characterisation of a woman's HPV status at a single point in time, and the short lead time gained by its detection.

TL;DR: Using longitudinal data from 242 women who had only had one sexual partner, it is found that the risk of acquiring cervical human papillomavirus infection was 46% (95% CI 28–64) at three years after first intercourse and that the median time from first intercourse to first detection of human papillaavirus was only three months.

TL;DR: The findings do not support the long-held view that the reason why HPV-18 infection is under-represented at the time of diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and suggest that the cytological changes detected after HPV- 18 infection might understate the severity of underlying disease.

TL;DR: The influence of operator specialty, volume of work and referral to an oncologist on the survival of women with ovarian cancer is examined.

TL;DR: It is reported that the prevalence of Epstein–Barr virus in gastric adenocarcinomas from the United Kingdom is one of the lowest in the World.
