DYSPLASIA/HPV Glossary


This glossary is a work in progress. It contains terms related primarily to HPV and dysplasia, but other gynecologic conditions as well. If there is a word or phrase you would like to see here, write to me at hpvinfo@baymoon.com, and I will add it. I plan to be continually adding to this list. For terms and Related Resources which are more related to gyn cancers, please go to the Gyn Cancers Glossary. Thank you. Laura
