Cervical cancer is a progressive disease with an onset of one to two decades on average. During the productive replication stage, the Human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is maintained episomally in the infected cervical epithelium and early gene products, including E5, are expressed. Therefore, E5 has a potential to contribute to the HPV-associated carcinogenic process. In invasive malignancies, ...

a 49 year old woman diagnosed as a cervical cancer patient, after receiving appropriate treatment experienced metastasis in her abdominopelvic cavity. after aggressive management, she was well for a while. however, she developed to a poor condition consisting of urologic, gastroenterological, hematologic and neurologic problems just in a short time. in the course of hospital she presented one s...

background and aim: carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a significant cause of mortality because of malignancy in women. radiotherapy is a major treatment modality for invasive cervical cancer with good treatment outcome in early-stage patients. however, substantial treatment failures still occur in the advanced-stage patients. in this case report a long term follow up of a 58 years old woman wi...

Since cervical cancer screening with the Papanicolaou smear has become widespread, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in developed countries has dramatically decreased. At the same time, the detection of cervical dysplasia has dramatically increased. Diagnosis, management, and follow-up of preinvasive cervical lesions are now a major public health challenge. With teens becoming sexually ...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is a leading cancer in women worldwide. The Papanicolaou test (Pap test) remains the main screening tool; however, it produces high rates of false-negative and false-positive results. Gastrin-releasing peptide is a growth factor that has been implicated in many cancers, and its main receptor, the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), is nearly always expressed in...

Cervical erosion, a common gynaecological finding,either has inflammatory or neoplastic origin. Colposcopy and guided biopsy help in differentiating inflammatory lesions from neoplastic lesions. The objectives were to study various colposcopic findings in cervical erosions, to co-relate colposcopy findings with histopathology of cervical biopsy and to find out the outcome of different treatment...

background: cervical cancer is one of the most common types of women’s reproductive cancers. a major risk factor for cervical cancer is exposure to a group of common sexually transmitted viruses called human papillomavirus  (hpv). the over expression of hpv 16 i.e., e6 antigen in the tumors of suspected cervical cancer tissues. however e-6 antigen has hyaluronan binding protein site. methods: t...
