Web Focus on Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
It is now well established that infection with 'high risk' strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) significantly increases risk of developing cervical cancer. Strains 16 and 18 alone are implicated in ~70% of cervical cancer cases. Recent advances in HPV screening methods and the availability of vaccination have made HPV a "Hot topic" in both research and the media; this web focus brings together a selection of key articles recently published by BJC in this field.

New Targets for Cancer Therapy: minireview reprints collection
The minireviews programme was launched in British Journal of Cancer in 2002. Their aim is to provide short, accessible reviews on the most current topics. The topics covered are broad ranging and reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the journal - from clinical studies and epidemiology, to translational therapeutics and molecular diagnostics, as well as genetics and genomics.
This reprints collection is a showcase for some of the most cited of the recent minireviews in the field of new targets for cancer therapy. This collection focuses on a few key pathways and targets: the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, mTOR signalling, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway, epigenetics and microRNAs.
We hope you enjoy this short collection and continue to look out for the exciting range of minireviews we have scheduled for the coming months.
