Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer incidence has grown worldwide, with it being a more significant problem in developing countries. Invasive squamous cell cervical cancers are preceded by a long phase of preinvasive disease, known as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Cervical cancer can develop when the virus takes advantage of any TP53 gene dysfunction of the host organism. TP53 is responsible for encoding the tumor suppressor...
