DNA repair gene expression is associated with differential prognosis between HPV16 and HPV18 positive cervical cancer patients following radiation therapy

Abstract excerpt

Cervical cancers are almost always induced by HPV infections, of which HPV16 and HPV18 are predominant. Cancers associated with these strains are induced through DNA repair factors and have a differential response to radiation therapy. Hence this study focuses on finding DNA repair gene expression differences in HPV16 and HPV18 positive cervical cancers after radiation therapy. A higher number of somatic...
