Abstract excerpt
Improvement in management of advanced cervical cancer after radiotherapy requires a better understanding of its biological behavior. PTEN/MMAC/TEP(PTEN), a candidate tumor suppressor gene located at chromosome 10q23.3, was recently identified and found to be frequently mutated in several different types of human tumors. In contrast, rare mutations of the PTEN gene have been reported in cervical cancer. The aim of...
