UNVEILING MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES' ROLE IN CERVICAL CARCINOGENESIS: A NORTH INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
Cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern, particularly in regions like North India where its incidence remains high. "Unveiling Matrix Metalloproteinases' Role in Cervical Carcinogenesis: A North Indian Perspective" presents a comprehensive study that investigates the potential involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the development and progression of cervical cancer. Through a combination of clinical analysis and molecular research, this study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms by which MMPs may contribute to cervical carcinogenesis. The findings offer valuable insights into potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and provide a deeper understanding of this devastating disease.
