Integration of high‐risk human papillomavirus: a key event in cervical carcinogenesis?
15 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
An important occurrence in cervical carcinogenesis is deregulated expression of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) oncogenes E6 and E7. Several risk factors for cervical neoplastic progression are likely to contribute to viral oncogene deregulation, particularly integration of HR-HPV into the host genome. Integration represents a by-product of viral infection that is detected in almost 90% of cervical...
