Abstract excerpt
Etiology of cervical cancer is associated with excessive inflammation mediated tumorigenesis. Pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha, TNFA and interleukin, IL-10) are involved in fighting against the tumorigenesis. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the association of TNFA (-308G>A) and IL-10 (-819C>T) gene polymorphism with risk of cervical cancer. One hundred fifty...
