Prognostic significance of overexpressed p16INK4a in patients with cervical cancer: a meta-analysis. by Jiaying Lin, Andreas E Albers, Jinbao Qin, Andreas M Kaufmann

“…<h4>Background</h4>p16INK4a is a tumor suppressor protein which is induced in cells upon the interaction of high-risk HPV E7 with the retinoblastoma protein by a positive feedback loop, but cannot exert its suppressing effect. Previous reports suggested that p16INK4a immunostaining allows precise identification of even small CIN or cervical cancer lesions in biopsies. …”
