miRNA mediated genetic regulation is widely involved in carcinogenesis of cervical cancer. In this study, miR-214 was confirmed to directly regulate MKK3 via imperfect base-pairing to its 3'UTR, resulting down-regulation of its expression level. Compared to normal tissues, a down-regulated level of miR-214 was observed in cervical cancer, while MKK3 was up-regulated. Next, we demonstrated that over-expression of miR-214 or knockdown of MKK3 can inhibit the growth, proliferation, invasion and migration of cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the effects of miR-214 in HeLa cells were rescued by the restoration of MKK3. In conclusion, our results laid new foundations for investigating the pathogenesis and diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to examine new evidence since our 2019 guidelines for cervical cancer (CC) screening in non-HIV immunocompromised persons and to provide updated recommendations based on literature review and expert opinion. In addition, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine efficacy in these populations was reviewed.
Methods: A literature search was performed similar to our previous publication but was conducted through March 2023.

Background: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FHRCC) is an aggressive carcinoma that typically presents as advanced-stage disease. Prompt recognition of FHRCC is critical for appropriate clinical care and genetic counseling for patients and family members. However, diagnosing FHRCC from cytology specimens is challenging, with limited characterization and no reports describing prospectively identified cases.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are important immune cells in the tumor micro-environment (TME) and play a key role in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer. Besides, targeting TAMs can significantly inhibit cervical cancer tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis as well as affect immune regulation. This review summarizes the correlation between TAM and tumors, the mechanism of action of TAM in cervical cancer, and the potential application of TAM in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Background Cervical cancer typically progresses over 10-20 years, making it a preventable disease and underscoring the importance of screening. In low-resource settings, Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) serve as primary screening tools. This study was conducted as part of the noncommunicable disease camps organized by the government of Karnataka, India.
