Study Drop: Can One HPV Shot Be As Good As Three?
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a safe and hugely effective cancer-preventer: This we know. But what we also know is that to fully protect yourself from cervical cancer, you have to get all three doses of the vaccine -- and most women don't. In fact, a study last year found that the number of young women who complete all three doses dropped from 50 percent in 2006 to less than 22 percent in 2009!

Let's talk about cancer.
Three years ago at this time I was lying on the couch, watching St. Elmo's Fire with Friend Pens The Lotion S., feeling rather giddy from a combination of red wine and Vicodin. I had just had the majority of my hard palate and all of my soft palate removed due to a case of oral cancer. If you want to read the whole story, go back to September of 2010 in the archives.(St. Elmo's Fire is a good movie filled with terrible people. Skip it; that way, you won't have to wish for that two hours of your Vicodin- and red-wine-soaked life back.)Let's talk about oral cancers. There are a lot of them, some of them frightening, some of ...

93-year old fashion consultant: my father-in-law
There’s only one grandparent left in our family – my 93-year old father-in-law. A former tailor, with all his wits still about him and a mischievous sense of humor, he’s the go-to guy when our daughters (24 and 27) have fashion questions. Their mother (that’d be me) is totally utterly useless in these matters. In fact I am regularly directed or chastised by these children. (But that’s another story) Generations of fashion I never cease to get a kick out of watching them turn this way and that as Grandpa, examines seams and linings I didn’t have grandparents growing up, so it’s a new and remarkable and heart-w...

HPV infection linked to poor oral health, say cancer prevention researchers
Infection with oral human papillomavirus (HPV) - a main cause of throat cancer - could be linked to poor oral health, including gum disease, according to a study published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

How Do You Afford Healthcare in Prison on 50 Cents Per Hour?
Women entering prisons often have poor physical health, in part due to poverty and lack of access to treatment for concerns such as addiction, abuse and mental health. An article in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved looks at a different aspect of the health of incarcerated women: how healthcare systems in prison create further harm. For “Factors Contributing to Poor Physical Health in Incarcerated Women,” researchers Holly Harner and Suzanne Riley conducted 12 focus groups and asked 65 women in a U.S. maximum security prison what they thought about factors affecting their their physical he...

A Guide to Cervical Cancer Screening & HPV Vaccines
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.” But the virus usually clears on its own, without causing any damage — and often without showing any symptoms. The HPV vaccine can prevent infection, but it’s not for everyone. We’ll tell you what you need to know about the virus and the vaccine. What are the risks from HPV? In both men and women, HPV infection can lead to warts or ...
