The average 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is unsatisfactory, this study was to investigate the clinical factors chemoradiotherapy resistance in after chemoradiation and improve efficacy. A total 965 LACC patients treated with radical chemoradiotherapy, were categorized into two groups: chemoradiotherapy-resistant chemoradiotherapy-sensitive. curve ...

BACKGROUND Overexpression of several aquaporins has been reported in different types of human cancer but the role of aquaporins in carcinogenesis has not yet been clearly defined. There is few report concerning role of aquaporins in human cervical carcinogenesis so far. Here, we determined the expression and prognostic value of aquaporin 1, 3 in cervical carcinoma in Chinese women of Uygur ethn...
