Cervical cancer progression is regulated by SOX transcription factors: Revealing signaling networks and therapeutic strategies
Cervical cancer is the fourth common gynecologic cancer and is considered as second leading cause of death among women. Various strategies are applied in treatment of cervical cancer including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. However, cervical cancer cells demonstrate aggressive behavior in a...
