Inactivación de genes supresores de tumores en la carcinogénesis del cuello uterino
The importance of inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in the development/progression of carcinomas of the uterine cervix is reviewed. It is well known that HPV-related oncogenes are strongly linked to cervical cancer. However, fewer studies have explored the occurrence of inactivation of tumor su...
