Article Abstract
Objectives: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in developing countries, including India. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) are gaining importance in cancer biology because of their involvement in various cellular processes. The present study aimed to profile miRNA expression pattern in cervical cancer, identify their target genes, and understand their role in carcinogenesis.
Methods: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection statuses in samples were assessed by heminested polymerase chain reaction followed by direct DNA sequencing. Next-generation sequencing and miRNA microarray were used for miRNA profiling in cervical cancer cell lines and tissue samples, respectively. MicroRNA signature was validated by quantitative real-time PCR, and biological significance was elucidated using various in silico analyses.
Results: Cervical cancer tissues samples were mostly infected by HPV type 16 (93%). MicroRNA profiling showed that the pattern of miRNA expression differed with respect to HPV positivity in cervical cancer cell lines. However, target and pathway analyses indicated identical involvement of these significantly deregulated miRNAs in HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines irrespective of type of HPV infected. Microarray profiling identified a set of miRNAs that are differentially deregulated in cervical cancer tissue samples which were validated using quantitative real-time PCR. In silico analyses revealed that the signature miRNAs are mainly involved in PI3K-Akt and mTOR pathways.
Conclusions: The study identified that high-risk HPV induces similar carcinogenic mechanism irrespective of HPV type. The miRNA signature of cervical cancer and their target genes were also elucidated, thereby providing a better insight into the molecular mechanism underlying cervical cancer development.

Patients admitted to Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) have their non-medical needs provided by caregivers called "attendants" who are predominantly female family members. This provides a unique opportunity to provide free screening among attendants during their free time at the hospital. The objective of this qualitative focus group study was to understand knowledge of and facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening among attendants at the UCI.

To effectively prevent cervical cancer, a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality among women, widespread adoption of the HPV vaccine has a well-established link to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV vaccine must be the vaccine's effectiveness in reducing HPV infections, and subsequent cervical lesions have been extensively demonstrated, marking a pivotal milestone in public health. Important research highlights the vaccine's safety profile, allaying worries and promoting trust in its application.

Background: Cervical cancer burden in South Asia is among the highest globally. Due to the lack of national immunization programs, the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaccine uptake remains unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the prevalence of HPV vaccine uptake in South Asia.

Introduction: To examine the associations of neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES), ethnic enclaves, residential Black segregation with screening for breast, cervical and colorectal (CRC) cancers across the state of Texas (TX).
Methods: Using an ecologic study design, spatial clustering of low breast, cervical and CRC screening rates were identified across TX census tracts using local Moran's I statistics. Binomial spatial probit regression was used to estimate the associations between nSES, Hispanic/Latino and Asian American (AA) ethnic enclave neighborhoods and residential Black segregation with geospatial clusters of low screening, adjusting for behavioral characteristics.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations.
