Genetic alterations in cervical carcinomas: Frequent low‐level amplifications of oncogenes are associated with human papillomavirus infection
3 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
The development of cervical carcinoma is closely associated with HPV infection. However, other genetic alterations also play an important role. In this study, we analyzed copy number alterations of several oncogene loci in a panel of 84 cervical tumors. Sixty-five (77%) tumors were HPV DNA-positive, and most were infected with type 16 or type 18 or both. The oncogenes studied include PIK3CA at 3q26.3, TERT at...
