Abstract excerpt
The altered expression of histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA) in the development to cervical carcinoma suggests that tumor progression may be related to impaired recognition by host immune defense mechanisms. To investigate whether this phenomenon plays a role in the process of metastasis of cervical cancer, we analyzed and compared the HLA expression with the number of infiltrating immune cells in...
