High Human Papillomavirus Oncogene mRNA Expression and Not Viral DNA Load Is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Cervical Cancer Patients
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cervical cancer is now known to be caused by infection with an oncogenic type of the human papillomavirus (HPV). However, little is known about the continued role of HPV once cancer has been established. Here, we describe the quantitative relation between HPV DNA copy number and mRNA expression of the viral oncogenes (E6 and E7) and the prognostic value of both measures in cervical cancer patients....
