Article Abstract

As a common female reproductive system malignancy, cervical cancer (CC) disturbs numerous women's health. This study demonstrates the role of the vaginal microbial environment () in cervical cancer. Functional assays, including cell proliferation assay, tube formation assay, and immunofluorescence staining, revealed the effect of -treated macrophages on cell proliferation and the angiogenesis process. The tube formation assay disclosed the function of -treated macrophages on angiogenesis. In vivo assays were also established to explore the impact of -treated macrophages on tumor migration. The results revealed that -induced macrophages boosted cervical cancer migration and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Then, this study unveiled that -induced macrophage secreted VEGF to stimulate the angiogenesis in cervical cancer. As a whole, -induced macrophage facilitates cervical cancer development through modulation of VEGF expression.

Background: Hyperthermia (HT), while a cancer treatment approach, isn't always effective alone. Therefore, identifying hyperthermia enhancers is crucial. We demonstrated that Mito-TEMPO ([2-[(1-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) amino]-2-oxoethyl]-triphenylphosphanium, MT) acts as a potent thermosensitizer, promoting cell death in human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells.

Purpose: This study presents the dose-based intra-preplan (DIP) method for intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy (IC/ISBT) in cervical cancer, optimizing catheter configurations based on dose distribution. This study aimed to assess the DIP method's clinical feasibility and efficacy.

Methods And Materials: The DIP method incorporates the implant modeling function and the hybrid inverse planning optimization algorithm in Oncentra Brachy.

Background: Cervical cancer is primarily caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Despite all the advances in early detection of HPV infection, cervical cancer remains one of the most common types of cancer in women, with a high presence in Latin America. We previously reported on the prevalence of HPV in the Coquimbo region, so the objective of this study was to determine the frequency of HPV in women in the Antofagasta and Arica regions of northern Chile.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is the primary method for cervical cancer screening, but reliable detection depends on adequate sample cellularity. Cycle threshold (Ct) values for the assay's internal control (IC), such as β-globin, are commonly used as proxies for adequacy, yet standardized Ct cut-offs are lacking. We aimed to contribute evidence-based thresholds for sample adequacy using real-world data.
