Clinical Performance of Human Papillomavirus E6 and E7 mRNA Testing for High-Grade Lesions of the Cervix
15 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Infection with high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major cause of cervical cancer. However, relatively few infections progress to malignant disease. Progression to malignancy requires the overexpression of the E6 and E7 genes in the integrated HPV genome. It follows that the E6 and E7 transcripts could be useful markers of disease progression. The study presented here tests this possibility, using...
