Cervical cancer is a common female malignancy worldwide, and the molecular mechanism of cervical tumorigenesis remains poorly understood. A large piece of evidence have demonstrated the important roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis, cancer progression and drug resistance. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the lncRNAs expression pattern in cervical cancer using RNA sequencing and microarray data from the cancer genome atlas, gene expression omnibus and Genotype Tissue Expression. Moreover, we assessed the correlation between lncRNA expression levels and cervical cancer patient's survival. We uncovered hundreds of lncRNAs that are upregulated or downregulated in cervical cancer tissues. Among these aberrantly lncRNAs, some are significantly associated with cervical patients' poorer prognosis, such as ALOX12-AS1 and LINC00173. ALOX12-AS1 expression is downregulated in cervical cancer, and over-expression of ALOX12-AS1 could inhibit cervical cancer cells proliferation in vitro. Further, mechanistically investigation revealed that ALOX12-AS1 could interact with AGO2 and sponge miR-3171, thereby antagonizing its' repression of tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog expression in cervical cancer cell. Taken together, this study provides lncRNA candidates in cervical cancer and highlights the critical role of ALOX12-AS1 in cervical cancer.

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

Resistance to the currently available treatment paradigms is one of the main factors that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Novel targeted therapy approaches might enhance the patient's treatment outcome and are urgently needed for this malignancy. While chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-based adoptive immunotherapy displays a promising treatment strategy for liquid cancers, their use against cervical cancer is largely unexplored.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a key factor in gynecological oncology. This narrative review investigates the complex connection between HPV and various gynecological cancers. For a comprehensive exploration, we examined the association between persistent HPV infection and cervical cancer and its global prevalence.

Purpose: The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to women who have low incomes and are uninsured or underinsured. Documenting the number of women eligible and the proportion of eligible women who receive NBCCEDP-funded services is important for identifying opportunities to increase screening and diagnostic services among those who would not otherwise have access.
Methods: Using the Census Bureau's Small Area Health Insurance Estimates data, we estimated the number of women who met the NBCCEDP eligibility criteria based on age, income, and insurance status.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in the development and progression of various tumors through multiple mechanisms. Among these, HOTTIP (HOXA transcript at the distal tip) stands out as an intriguing candidate with diverse functions in several malignancies, including breast cancer and gynecologic cancers such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, which are significant global health concerns. HOTTIP interacts with key signaling pathways associated with these cancers, including Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/AKT, and MEK/ERK pathways, enhancing their activation and downstream effects.
