Stathmin-1 Expression as a Complement to p16 Helps Identify High-grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia With Increased Specificity
4 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
A fundamental controversy in using biomarkers to diagnose cervical cancer precursors [ie, squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL)] is their lack of specificity for high-grade SIL [HSIL; cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN2/3)]. Stathmin-1 (STMN), a microtubule-destabilizing protein important in mitosis, is overexpressed in a variety of malignancies including those from the Müllerian tract and may be...
