Webinar Organizers:

Patients treated for high-grade HPV-related lesions or invasive cancer remain at increased risk of HPV-associated disease at multiple anatomical sites. This webinar focuses on the evolving role of the colposcopist as a key clinician in multidistrict HPV-related disease management. Through a comprehensive approach, participants will explore vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, vulvar, perineal and anal lesions in high-risk women, and the emerging relevance of oral and oropharyngeal HPV infection. Emphasis is placed on risk recognition, appropriate surveillance, clinical decision-making, and multidisciplinary referral rather than on single diagnostic procedures.
