5 Foreword The award of the Nobel Prize in Medicine to Professor Harald zur Hausen in 2008 represented one of the most auspicious recognitions in the field of cancer prevention. Zur Hausen s pioneer work unleashed an entire domain of research on the molecular biology of human papillomavirus (HPV) and on its interaction with the human host. His work permitted the characterization of HPV infection as the cause of the vast majority of cervical cancers and of a large proportion of anogenital and upper aerodigestive tract malignancies. Understanding the unequivocal role of HPV infection in carcinogenesis led to two new fronts in cervical cancer prevention, namely, (i) the development of diagnostic assays for HPV DNA, which are now being incorporated into cervical cancer screening programs worldwide, and (ii) the regulatory approval of the first prophylactic HPV vaccines to prevent HPV infections with the genotypes of HPV that cause most cases of cervical cancer. The burden of morbidity and mortality from cancers associated with HPV infection is greatest in developing cancers. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the most common in many developing countries in Latin America, equatorial Africa, and in Southeast Asia. These countries now have a renewed hope in controlling a disease that has been very difficult to prevent via traditional Pap cytology screening, an undertaking that has worked well only in highresource countries. One of the new vaccines also prevents the HPV types that cause the majority of genital warts and low-grade lesions of the lower genital tract. Such HPV types are also responsible for laryngeal papillomatosis. Collectively, these diseases, albeit classified as benign, are responsible for much suffering and loss of quality of life throughout the world. In all, the spectrum of malignant and benign diseases that can be prevented by the new prophylactic HPV vaccines affects women, men, and children everywhere, and leads to major healthcare expenditures related to diagnosis, management, and treatment. In this book, Drs. Alberto Rosenblatt and Homero Gustavo de Campos Guidi have devoted considerable care in providing a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases causally associated with HPV infections. In many chapters, the authors also summarize the literature about diseases in which HPV seems to be an incidental finding and whose specific role has not yet been elucidated. As experienced, practicing urologists, Drs. Rosenblatt and Guidi provided a richly illustrated guide that clinicians will find very useful as an easy to navigate, yet authoritative reference to the diagnosis and treatment of HPVassociated diseases. Although the emphasis is on the urologist s approach to disease management, this book will also be appreciated by gynecologists, dermatologists, vii

6 viii Foreword pediatricians, and infectious disease specialists. The authors also enlisted the contribution of two renowned colleagues, Drs. Luisa Villa and Simon Horenblas, for two chapters on laboratory detection methods and penile neoplasia, respectively. Clinical and sub-clinical HPV infections are the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Although there is justifiable enthusiasm in the public health community with the novel prophylactic vaccines and sensitive screening tools, many challenges lie ahead. The science on preventive and therapeutic approaches to curb the burden of HPV diseases has grown exponentially in recent years. Clinicians need a practical guide to allow them to sift through the new methods that have passed the scrutiny of evidence-based medicine and can thus be used in the care of their patients. The authors, Drs. Rosenblatt and Guidi, and Springer, the publisher, are to be commended for Human Papillomavirus A Practical Guide for Urologists, a contribution that fills this need with high scholarly value.

7 Preface We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle Human papillomavirus infection is a globally widespread disease that affects young people and adults without sexual distinction. The sexually transmitted virus is responsible for the development of benign anogenital lesions as well as several premalignant and malignant anogenital and nongenital disorders. Although obstetricians/gynecologists, urologists, and dermatologists are the medical specialists most often involved in the management of HPV-related diseases, practitioners in general ought to have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges caused by this infective agent. The interested reader will find in the chapters of this practical guide all the current information concerning HPV and associated anogenital diseases, with particular emphasis on the management of the infected male. Premalignant and malignant penile neoplasias as well as current management of anal and cervical intraepithelial disease are also reviewed in this book, providing the readers with an authoritative wealth of updated data. The addition of practically oriented tables and numerous colored figures provides quick access to the objective information, which is supported with over 800 references. It is expected that the burden of HPV infection and associated diseases will certainly be reduced with the advent of current prophylactic vaccines. However, HPV infection is a recurrent disorder and this book will enable practitioners in general to understand and manage the male s most common genital-related disorders.

8 Acknowledgments The authors acknowledge with deep appreciation Prof. Simon Horenblas and Dr. Luisa Lina Villa for their valuable contribution to this book. Prof. Horenblas s vast expertise in penile cancer and Dr. Villa s acclaimed investigative work with human papillomavirus provide us with two key chapters where updates on penile neoplasia and the current laboratory investigation of human papilloma virus are presented. We express our gratitude to Dr. Carlos Walter Sobrado Jr., Dr. Sidney Roberto Nadal, Dr. Maricy Tacla, Dr. Marcia Jacomelli, Dr. Reinaldo J. Gusmão, Dr. Toshiro Tomishige, Dr. Monica Stiepcich, Dr. Rubens Pianna de Andrade, Dr. Libby Edwards, Prof. Robert A. Schwartz, Prof. Gerd Gross, and Prof. Gino Fornaciari for their generous contribution providing the innumerous and valuable figures that illustrate the chapters of the book. We also specially thank Prof. Filomena Marino Carvalho for her significant insights regarding the nomenclature of genital squamous intraepithelial lesions as well as the illustrative cytology and histopathology slides, and Dr. Nadir Oyakawa, a pioneer in the field of HPV-related diseases in women and who prematurely left us at the height of her scientific career. We thank the publishers who kindly gave us copyright permissions for the use of figures in this book. Finally, we are deeply grateful to all the staff at Springer involved in the creation of this book, in particular, Ute Heilmann (Editorial Director, Clinical Medicine), Annette Hinze (Editor, Clinical Medicine), Wilma McHugh (Project Coordinator), and Dörthe Mennecke-Bühler (Assistant Editor, Clinical Medicine) for their professionalism, friendship, and guidance along the path to publication. We also thank Nandini Loganathan and the staff at SPi for their excellent job with the production of this book. xi
