Article Synopsis
- * When vulvar cancer spreads beyond the pelvis (metastatic vulvar cancer), it's uncommon and generally has a poor outlook for patients.
- * This article discusses a unique case of recurrent vulvar squamous cell carcinoma that has metastasized to bones, soft tissue, lungs, clavicle, and even the brain.
Purpose: This study examined targeted genomic variants of transforming growth factor beta (TGFB) signaling in Appalachian women. Appalachian women with cervical cancer were compared to healthy Appalachian counterparts to determine whether these polymorphic alleles were over-represented within this high-risk cancer population, and whether lifestyle or environmental factors modified the aggregate genetic risk in these Appalachian women.
Methods: Appalachian women's survey data and blood samples from the Community Awareness, Resources, and Education (CARE) CARE I and CARE II studies (n = 163 invasive cervical cancer cases, 842 controls) were used to assess gene-environment interactions and cancer risk.
