Cytology practice is shifting from fewer gynecologic screening tests to a greater focus on diagnostic testing in nongynecologic cytology including fine-needle aspiration. Roles of cytotechnologists have been changing in the workplace to help laboratories meet new demands and act as pathologist extenders. In many laboratories, cytotechnologists add efficiencies to pathology practice through their active roles in rapid on-site evaluation and preliminary evaluation of special stains and FISH testing.

Each state has legal exceptions that allow minors to get diagnosed and treated for sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to New York, California, Delaware and Washington, D.C., allow teens under 18 to be vaccinated for HPV and hepatitis B, which is also sexually transmitted. And as measles spread in New Jersey this year, a bill was introduced in May that would allow teens as young as 14 to be vaccinated against a number of diseases, including HPV, without parental permission. The move to give teens a voice in vaccination comes on top of a growing body of evidence that the HPV vaccine, which protects against a range of deadly cancers, is far more effective in protecting against HPV-related diseases than expected.

Your immune system's natural killer cells recognize and attack two major kinds of danger - cells infected by viruses and cells affected by cancer. When natural killer (NK) cells see a cancer cell, they kill it (naturally...). And a major research focus has been to define how NK cells do this "seeing." One way NK cells see cancer is by recognizing bits of mutated DNA displayed on "silver platters" made by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes.

More women may benefit from gene testing for hereditary breast or ovarian cancer, especially if they've already survived cancer once, an influential health group recommended recently. At issue are genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. When they're mutated, the body can't repair damaged DNA as well, greatly increasing the chances of breast, ovarian and certain other cancers. Gene testing allows affected women to consider steps to lower their risk, such as when actress Angelina Jolie underwent a preventive mastectomy several years ago.
