1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Most cervical carcinomas appear to arise from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions. In addition to infection with high-risk human papilloma viruses, which is indicative of an increased risk of progression, alterations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes play a role. Genetic studies of CIN lesions, primary cervical carcinoma, and metastases may shed light on the relative importance of various...
