clinical and pathological aspects, and to survival. Vimentin expression was observed in 100% of the tumor specimens. Hyperexpression of this biomarker in tumor cells (> 40%) was observed in 25% of the cases; however, it was not associated with clinical and pathological, or prognostic aspects of cervical cancer. Five-year survival for this group of patients was 66%; it was influenced by age, tumor size, presence of lymph node metastases, presence of distant metastases, and clinical stage. Hyperexpression of vimentin was not found to be a prognostic factor for cervical cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
