16 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis underlying cervical tumorigenesis and progression are largely unknown. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene, and genetic changes of PTEN occurs in various types of cancer suggesting that the inactivation of PTEN may play an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of human malignancies. In the present study, 102 cervical cancer specimens were examined for the...
