AIMS Cervical cancer is the third most frequent cancer in women worldwide, mostly treated with cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy. Since it is known that folate metabolism might interfere with cisplatin effectiveness, we intended to study the influence of the Gamma Glutamyl Hydrolase -401C>T polymorphism in treatment response in cervical cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical...

background & objectives: tumor diathesis (td) is defined as granular proteinaceous precipitates on slide surface of cytologic smears. it is found in the background of smears of invasive carcinoma but not in all cases. the aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of td in cervicovaginal smears from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma. methods: cytological smears and histologi...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the results of the Morelos HPV Study. The main objective of the Morelos HPV Study is to evaluate the use of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing, as compared to the Papanicolaou (Pap) test, for cervical cancer (CC) screening. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Morelos HPV Study is currently being conducted in Mexico, to examine the possibilit...

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of mortality among women. Impairment of the base excision repair (BER) pathway is one of the major causes of the initiation and progression of cervical cancer. However, whether the polymorphisms of the BER pathway components (i.e., HOGG1, XRCC1, ADPRT, and APE1) can affect the risk of cervical cancer remains unknown. Herein, we applied a hospital-base...

Hematopoietic pre-B-cell leukemia transcription factor-interacting protein (HPIP), is known to promote tumor development and metastasis. However its role in cervical cancer remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of HPIP expression and the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. Fresh frozen tissues from 10 samples of cervical cancer and 8norm...

Introduction and Aim: More than 85% of cervical cancer (CC) cases are reported in developing countries where access to screening is limited. With localized forms CC, it possible achieve good treatment results using radical procedures compared locally widespread processes. Methods: This a retrospective study 68 patients with stage IIB CC hospitalized from 2013–2022. During the initial after full...

Aberrant expression of oncogenes and/or tumor suppressors play a fundamental effect on the pathogenesis and tumorigenicity of cervical cancer (CC). B-cell CLL/lymphoma 3 (BCL3) was previously found to be a putative proto-oncogene in human cancers and regulated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a critical oncogene, in CC cell line. However, its expression status, clinic...

BACKGROUND Cervical Cancer (CC) is the second most common cancer among women with early detection and prompt treatment as best management options. Female nurses have crucial roles to play in promoting the utilization of Cervical Cancer Screening Services (CCSS), yet little information exist regarding their perception and utilization of these services. The CCSS related knowledge, perception and ...

The prevalence of infection by different genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) varies among different geographic areas. We studied the prevalence of infection by 21 HPV genotypes in cervical tissue specimens from 4213 women in the Guiyang district, that is located in the southwest of China and is dominated by minor ethnicities of Chinese, and 2074 cases in our cohort had pathological diagnosi...

miRNAs have been established as critical layer of regulation during tumorigenesis; extracellular miRNAs are extraordinarily stable; and, quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) provides a sensitive platform for quantifying miRNAs with a broad dynamic range. Herein, we aimed to establish a serum miRNA signature for diagnosing cervical cancer (CC). In this study, we re...
