Abstract excerpt
Mutation of p53, a tumour suppressor gene, is uncommon in cervical cancer but the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in cervical cancer is common. The findings of increased susceptibility to degradation of p53 by E6 protein of HPV16/18 in cervical cancer with homozygous arginine at codon 72 (HA72) of p53 led to this study on whether cervical cancers with HA72 were more aggressive with the increase in the...
