翻译一段关于医学行为治疗的片段－英文
As such, a number of opportunities exist for behavioral medicine research and practice.
First, as evidence for the link between certain types of HNC and human papillomavirus
continues to grow, research and practice must recognize the changing patient demographic,
which is becoming younger and includes considerably more females (Curado & Hashibe,
2009; Marur & Forastiere, 2008). Moreover, evidence indicates that HPV-positive HNC is
often more responsive to treatment and is associated with increased survival as compared to
HPV-negative HNC (Marur, D'Souza, Westra, & Forastiere, 2010). This implies the need to
distinguish between HNC patients with different disease etiologies (something the literature,
at present, does not address) and that current research must either be replicated in HPV-
positive HNC populations or that HNC patient populations will require stratification in the
future. In addition, because evidence suggests that (risky) sexual contact is the primary
means by which individuals with HPV-positive HNC acquire the virus (e.g., Heck et al.,
2010; Smith et al., 2004), further development of behavioral interventions targeting at-risk
persons is needed, particularly those designed to decrease risky sexual behavior, increase
knowledge regarding acquisition of the virus, and/or increase uptake of HPV vaccinations
(e.g., Cox, Cox, Sturm, & Zimet, 2010).
