The Knowledge of the Role of Papillomavirus—Related Head and Neck Pathologies among General Practitioners, Otolaryngologists and Trainees. A Survey-Based Study

Abstract

The different levels of knowledge and awareness of HPV issues highlight the need for targeted awareness strategies in Poland with implementation of HPV testing and vaccination. The information should be accessible especially to those with lower education levels: ENTs from small, provincial wards, GPs from cities of < 200,000 inhabitants and older physicians. The incorporation of HPV issues into the studies curriculum would be fruitful in terms of improving the knowledge of trainees.
