Persistence of human papillomavirus infection as a predictor for recurrence in carcinoma of the cervix after radiotherapy
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to examine a possible correlation between clearance or persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and radiation response in carcinoma of the cervix. The results indicate that in HPV-positive cervical carcinoma, persistence of HPV DNA in the cervix at the end of irradiation was highly predictive of local disease-free survival (LDFS) and overall survival (OAS).

Putative gene loci associated with carcinogenesis and metasis of endocervical adenocarcinomas of uterus determined by conventional and array-based CGH
Article Abstract:
The gene loci associated with carcinogenesis of endocervical adenocarcinoma of uterus (EA) and metastasis is estimated. These altered genes are believed to be associated with EAs as tumor suppressors and/or oncogene.
