This publication, in two volumes, includes most of the scientific papers presented at the first meeting of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life (ISSOL), held on June 25-28, 1973 in Barcelona, Spain. The first volume contains the invited articles and the second volume the contributed papers, which also appear in the 1974 and 1975 issues, respectively, of the new journal Origins of Life, published by D. Reidel. A relatively large number of meetings on the subject of the origin of life have been held in different places since 1957. In terms of its organization, scope, and number and nationality of participants, the Conference celebrated last year in Barcelona closely followed the three international conferences held earlier in Moscow, U.S.S.R., 1957, Wakulla Springs, U.S.A., 1963, and Pont-a-Mousson, France, 1970. For this reason the first ISSOL meeting was also named the Ath International Conference on the Origin of Life.

El VPH ha demostrado ser un factor de génesis significante en el carcinoma de células escamosas de cuello uterino, pero la evidencia de la contribución del VPH en la producción del carcinoma de células escamosas de cabeza y cuello se ha estudiado por décadas y todavía permanece debatible. Los mecanismos moleculares han podido identificar la clara demostración de su capacidad de alterar los elementos del ciclo celular responsables de la división celular y la apoptosis. La literatura apoya la idea que el carcinoma de células escamosas de la orofaringe, a diferencia del carcinoma localizado en otros subsitios, posee mayor probabilidad de estar relacionado con el VPH, inclusive, se ha descrito que el carcinoma de amígdala causado por VPH del tipo 16, particularmente es considerado un tipo de tumor completamente diferente al resto de los tumores escamosos de la mucosa aéreo-digestiva superior, con comportamiento biológico, evolución y respuesta al tratamiento distintos. Este estudio lleva a considerar al VPH como un factor contribuyente en la aparición del cáncer de cabeza y cuello, sin embargo, estudios mas profundos podrán demostrar a futuro su acción directa en la génesis de este tipo de cáncer.
