Cervical Cancer
Characteristic molecular changes in cervical cells can enhance understanding of cervical cancer
November 10th, 2005
Characteristic molecular changes identified by cDNA arrays in cervical cells can enhance understanding of cervical cancer. "One of the most frequent malignancies in women worldwide is carcinoma of the uterine cervix," researchers in Mexico report. "High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered the most important etiological factor of uterine cervical cancer. The aim" of their study "was to identify novel cellular genes that could potentially act as predictive molecular markers for human cervical cancer by means of cDNA arrays." G. Vazquez-Ortiz and colleagues "used cDNA arrays to examine the expression profiles of six cell lines...
