Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations in tumor suppressor genes TP53 and RB1 are considered central drivers in leiomyosarcomas (LMSs). In high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-related tumors, a similar functional outcome is achieved through oncoproteins E6 and E7, which inactivate the p53 and RB1 proteins, respectively. Here, we hypothesized that HPV infection could provide an alternative mechanism for tumorigenesis in a subset...
