Chromosomal Signatures of a Subset of High-Grade Premalignant Cervical Lesions Closely Resemble Invasive Carcinomas
15 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer develops from precancerous high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) harboring a transforming infection with high-risk human papillomavirus, which is characterized by p16(INK4a) overexpression.
