The Roles of Genetic and Environmental Factors on Risk of Cervical Cancer: A Review of Classical Twin Studies

1 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Persistent infection with an oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary, but not sufficient, for its development. Over many years, only a small proportion of women with chronic HPV infection progress to develop disease. The role of host genes and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of, or predisposition to, cervical cancer is still...
