Indian Scientists Map Cervical Cancer at Molecular Level

Indian Scientists Map Cervical Cancer at Molecular Level

Scientists in India have made a big discovery about cervical cancer.

They studied the genes and proteins in cancer cells to find out why some treatments don't work.

They found that some genes change, like EGFR, making the cancer grow faster, and STK11, which normally slows growth, disappearing.

They also discovered that a protein called CSNK2A1 helps the cancer survive.

Using drugs to block this protein slowed the cancer in the lab.

This research could lead to new ways to treat cervical cancer, especially for women whose treatments aren't working.

This is great news because cervical cancer is a serious problem in India.
