To test whether active ATM in tumours prior to treatment also resulted in resistance to therapy, immunohistochemistry was performed on tumour material of patients with advanced-stage cervical cancer (n = 375) treated with (chemo)radiation.
The expression levels of BDNF, TrkB, VEGF and CD105 in IB2-stage cervical cancer tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and their association with clinicopathological indexes or prognostic factors was statistically analyzed.
The aims of this study were to evaluate the regulatory level of cyclin D1 expression and the relationship between the expression of cyclin D1 and its inhibitor, p21WAF1/CIP1, and to evaluate their impact on the prognosis of early stage cervical cancer.

The present results suggest that DNA hypermethylation of the COX-2 gene may be a potential prognostic marker in early stage cervical cancer, the underlying mechanism of which is independent of gene silencing.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to examine CPE expression in tissue samples from 112 patients with early-stage cervical cancer (FIGO stages Ia2-IIa2), 60 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and 19 patients with normal cervical tissues (NCTs).
This study is to investigate the mechanisms by which epidermal growth factor (EGF) regulates NHE1 expression to promote cervical cancer cell invasiveness and the clinical significance in early-stage cervical cancer.
Overexpression of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) is associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
These markers could be used as indicators of prognosis in early-stage cervical cancer as Six1 and Ezrin had a synergistic effect on the incidence of cervical cancer.
Additionally, ezrin overexpression was associated with lower 10-year survival rate for patients with early stage cervical cancer, but not for patients with advanced stage.
We investigated the clinical significance of GINS2 in patients with early-stage cervical cancer and its biological functions in cervical cancer progression.
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α 1772C>T and 1790G>A genetic polymorphisms were compared with 205 healthy subjects and correlated with the clinical outcome of patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
Sam68 expression and cytoplasmic localization is correlated with lymph node metastasis as well as prognosis in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
Both detection of high-risk HPV DNA by in situ hybridization, and CK19 by immunohistochemical method detected lymph node micrometastases in early-stage cervical cancer.
So, the use of CK19, CK20, and SCC-Ag expression levels from peripheral blood from early stage cervical cancer radical patients before hysterectomy can aid to overcome the lack of radiographic examination and tumor markers measurement, and provide clues for postoperative treatment and prognosis determination.
The expressions of midkine and pleiotrophin mRNA in cervical cancer were higher than those in the normal cervix (MK, 175.59 +/- 63.3 vs 1.00 +/- 0.18 fmol, respectively; PTN, 3.18 +/- 1.25 vs. 0.86 +/- 0.12 fmol, respectively, P < 0.05), and their expressions were not correlated with cervical cancer stage or size of the tumor.
