Cervical Cancer Research

Question: Which are some good research topics about cervical cancer? I want to write a research paper about investigations that are being done about cervical cancer and the virus that causes it. I am not sure of the name of the virus right now but I know it starts with P. (Papav.............???) Do you have any ideas to help me out? Thanks lol ok you are making fun of the comerical. ok.......lol commercial*

Answer: I think an excellent topic about Cervical Cancer and the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) might be how many women go on to have other types of cancer from it. HPV causes lesser know cancers in women such as vulvar, vaginal, and anal. I run a support group for these problems and many women that have HPV and Cervical Cancer do later go on to have different problems, for some reason many women are not able to ever fight off the virus, where as most can. Maybe the role that the immune system plays in it would be something to explore....why do some women with "high risk" HPV get cancer and others don't? Good luck! I applaud you for picking such an interesting topic.
