- Authors
Nack, Adina
- Abstract
In "Sexualizing Cancer: HPV and the Politics of Cancer Prevention," Laura Mamo explores the influence of medical researchers and pharmaceutical companies on knowledge about HPV-associated cancers. She examines the development and marketing of the HPV vaccine, as well as screening tools and treatment protocols. Mamo also discusses the intersection of HPV-related medical technology with social constructions of gender, sexuality, and sexual health. The book provides valuable insights into the gendered and stigmatized nature of HPV infections and HPV-associated cancers.
