Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Heritable polymorphisms modulate metastatic efficiency in Cancer Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MMP9 (rs17576) and SIPA1 (rs746429, rs931127) have been associated with nodal metastases in multiple cancers. We investigated the association of these SNPs with nodal metastases in early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS: Consecutive patients with stage IB cervical cancer who underwent a pelvic lymph...
