Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and serum IL-8 product in leiomyomas.

Background: The most prevalent neoplasms of the female genital tract are uterine leiomyomas, a uterine fibroid which rarely turn into cancer. We examined the levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in female patients with Leiomyomas.

Methods: The presence of PCNA and IL-8 were measured in 28 females with Leiomyoma and 20 healthy controls.
