How aggressively should physicians treat dysplasia of the uterine cervix? The answer
depends on the natural history of the diseasethat is, how often different forms of
dysplasia return to normal or progress to cancer. Because treatment is now standard for most
forms, Holowaty et al. (p. 252) analyzed the progression and regression of
dysplasias among women whose Pap smears were analyzed by a large Canadian cytopathologic
laboratory during 1970-1980 (an era of more conservative treatment) and linked the
cytopathologic data with
Risk of HPV Infection
BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations and Cancer Survival
Estrogen Replacement Therapy and Breast Cancer Survival
Prognostic Indicator for Node-Negative Breast Cancer
