Abstract
The 27th International Papillomavirus Conference and Clinical Workshop, held in Berlin (17–22 September 2011) brought together more than 2000 scientists, clinicians and public health experts who shared new findings in the knowledge of the HPV and the prevention and treatment of HPV-related disease. In this last of three reports of the conference, the sessions and workshops dedicated to epidemiology and public health are summarized, which focused on the natural history of HPV infection, risk factors for HPV infection and HPV-associated lesions, descriptions of the current burden and trends of HPV-related cancers, HPV testing in cervical cancer screening and management of women who screen positively, prophylactic HPV vaccination, prevention of cervical cancer in low-resource countries through screening and vaccination, and the prevention and treatment of other cancers caused by HPV. The report ends with the highlights of the 6th Cochrane workshop on systematic reviews regarding prevention of HPV-related disease. The first two parts of the 27th International Papillomavirus conference on Basic Science and Applied Clinical Science were covered in the two previous issues of Future Virology.
