Are UK healthcare professionals equipped to provide information and support on Human Papillomavirus to patients diagnosed with cancer of the head and neck?

A new paper, written by Rebecca Jopson and Jennifer Callender, focused on looking at the information that is available for both patients and medical professionals dealing with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) related throat (head and neck) cancers.
