Although a potentially preventable disease, cervical cancer (CC) is the second most commonly diagnosed gynaecological cancer with at least 530,000 new cases annually, and the prognosis with CC is still poor. Studies suggest that aberrant expression of microRNA (miRNA) contributes to the progression of CC. As a group of small non-coding RNA with 18-25 nucleotides, miRNA regulate about one-third of all human genes. They function by repressing translation or inducing mRNA cleavage or degradation, including genes involved in diverse and important cellular processes, including cell cycling, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Results showed that misexpression of miRNA is closely related to the onset and progression of CC. This review will provide an overview of the function of miRNA in CC and the mechanisms involved in cervical carcinogenesis.

Department of Pathology, Third Hospital, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Peking University Health Science Center, Beijing, China.
Background: Cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) is more aggressive compared to other types of cervical cancer (CC), such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and tumor heterogeneity are recognized as pivotal factors in cancer progression and therapy. However, the disparities in TIME and heterogeneity between ADC and SCC are poorly understood.

Department of Medical Oncology, Hospital Clinico San Carlos, Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria San Carlos (IdISSC), and CIBERONC, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Immunotherapy has gained momentum with the discovery of novel antibodies targeting immunosuppressive proteins. HLA-E, a non-classical major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) protein, exhibits immunosuppressive properties, potentially influencing tumor immune evasion mechanisms. The association between Human Leukocyte Antigen E (HLA-E) expression and outcomes in solid tumors remains unclear.

March 2025
Department of Gynecological Surgery, Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This quantitative study aimed to determine whether the quality of discharge teaching, anxiety, depression, and various demographic and disease-related factors predict discharge readiness among cervical cancer surgical patients in Western Region of China.
Methods: From November 2023 to May 2024, a convenience sampling method was employed to administer a questionnaire to cervical cancer surgery patients at a tertiary Grade A specialized hospital in Xinjiang. The survey included a patient general information questionnaire, the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), a questionnaire assessing the readiness for discharge of gynecological malignant tumor surgery patients under the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) model, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).

Shenzhen Polytechnic University, Shenzhen, 518055, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To investigate immune cell crisis and excess histopathological features during the development and progression of infection in the gastric mucosa.
Methods: One thousand two hundred and seventy-six cases of infection were examined by endoscopic biopsy and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) resection. The relationship between epithelial cells and immune cells and the pathological features of immune cell dysfunction and excess tissue were observed.
