Dr Malu’s lecture, entitled ‘HPV – Warts, Cancer, Vaccine: Where are we now?’, began with a discussion on the various clinical presentations of HPV. Dr Malu took the audience on a journey from HPV latent infection through to HPV malignant disease. The audience learnt how HPV can lead to genital warts and cancers, including cervical, anal, and several throat cancers. The various tools of HPV diagnosis were discussed.
Often, HPV is identified initially through observations by the patient or their partner, which leads to a more definitive investigations of VIA (visual inspection with acetic acid), HPV genotyping, cytology and biopsy. Dr Malu explained the mechanism behind the new GeneXpert technology employed at Clarewell Clinics. Such investigations are important in establishing a correct diagnosis as well as patient trust and satisfaction.
Dr Malu further spoke about the negative impact genital warts caused by HPV has on the self-esteem and sexual relationships of patients with HPV.
