Head and neck cancer and sexuality: a review of the literature.
The author analyzed nine publications to present a review of the literature on head and neck cancer and sexuality, concluding that existing studies indicate that sexuality is of considerable significance, particularly after treatment for head and neck cancer. She recommended that oncology nurses be aware that this topic is of importance to many patients, and that they should familiarize themselves with available resources.

A common clinical dilemma: Management of abnormal vaginal cytology and human papillomavirus test results.
The researchers reviewed the literature on vaginal cytology and high-risk HPV testing and developed guidance for the management of abnormal vaginal screening tests. Since vaginal cancer is rare, the authors suggested that asymptomatic low-risk women not be screened. They further proposed an algorithm based on expert opinion for managing women with abnormal vaginal test results.
