Recently it has been found that the presence of homozygous arginine polymorphism at codon 72 of p53, represents a significant risk factor in the development of HPV-associated cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical carcinoma is persistently very low in Israeli Jewish women for unknown reasons. The incidence among those of North African origin is relatively higher. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency distribution of the p53 homozygous arginine polymorphism in cervical cancer patients and in a population sample of healthy Israeli Jewish women in order to determine whether the incidence pattern among them is genetically based. The cases consisted of 23 Israeli Jewish patients with histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. A group of 162 randomly chosen Israeli Jewish healthy participants, considered to represent the general population, comprised the controls. The germline p53 polymorphism at codon 72 was determined by PCR in DNA obtained from a blood sample taken from each subject. Homozygous arginine was found in 34.8% of cases and in only 14.8% of controls. This difference was statistically significant (P = 0.01). The frequency of homozygous arginine polymorphism in controls was lower than in any other population hitherto reported. It was significantly more common among those of North African than among those of other origin (30.3% vs. 10.8%; P < 0.01). It may be assumed that the low incidence of cervical cancer in Israeli Jewish women and the differences between the ethnic groups may be related to the frequency pattern of the homozygous arginine p53 polymorphism

We performed a case-control association study to evaluate the association between common polymorphisms in MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) and the Arg72Pro polymorphism in the p53 gene and the risk for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or invasive cervical cancer (ICC) in Mexican HPV-infected women. We included 131 women with diagnosis of CIN grade I-II and 78 with CIN III or ICC; as controls we also included 274 women with normal Pap smear and negative HPV test. Genotyping for MTHFR and p53 polymorphisms was performed by PCR-RFPLs. HPV was tested by Hybrid Capture II. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Genotype frequencies for the 3 studied polymorphisms were distributed according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The A1298C-MTHFR polymorphism showed significant differences for the heterozygous AC genotype and the C allele, whereas the AA genotype and A allele resulted to be genetic risk factors for CIN or ICC (p<0.03). The Arg72Pro-p53 polymorphism showed for the genotypes Arg/Pro and Pro/Pro, and for the Pro allele, a significant association only to the risk for CIN (p<0.03). The MTHFR/p53 interaction showed that the genotype combinations AA/ArgArg and AA/ArgPro were associated, respectively, to the risk of ICC and CIN (p<0.05). This study suggests that the A1298C-MTHFR polymorphism contributes to the genetic risk for both CIN and ICC, whereas the Arg72Pro-p53 polymorphism only contributes to the risk for CIN. The MTHFR/p53 genetic combinations AA/ArgArg and AA/ArgPro are associated genetic risk factors for ICC and CIN in Mexican HPV-infected women.

Principles of managing cancer during pregnancy are described in this chapter. Subsequently, the background, clinical features, and management of breast and cervical cancer, melanoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and acute leukaemia are separately covered. Preserving fertility, late effects on treatment, and neutropenic sepsis are also described.

This article discusses the clinical and echodopplerographic features of cervical cancer, which allows to improve the differential, topical and clarifying diagnosis of malignant tumors of the uterus. The material for the study included 115 patients with cervical cancer who applied to the Andijan branch of the cancer center. The revealed clinical and echodopplerographic features of СС made it possible to predict the course, outcome of the disease and to choose the optimal methods of treatment. Ultrasound monitoring of patients with СС, allows to assess the effectiveness of treatment and timely detect metastases and disease progression.

Aims A case-control study was performed to investigate the relationship between cervical cancer and TP53 polymorphism at codon 72 in young black African women from The Gambia. Materials and Methods The TP53 polymorphism at codon 72 was examined by PCR amplification and SSCP analysis in 40 patients with primary cervical cancer and in 20 healthy women of the same age and from the same geographical area. The occurrence of TP53 polymorphism in combination with the HPV-16 E6 genotype (assayed by PCR) was evaluated. Results The distribution of TP53 genotypes in cervical cancer patients and in the control group was not statistically different (p=0.45) and homozygosity for argine at residue 72 was not associated with cervical cancer (odds ratio: 1.24; 95% confidence interval 0.21-9.16). Similarly, a different genotype distribution, cervical cancer and presence of HPV-16 E6 were not observed. Conclusions These results cannot rule out an association between TP53 polymorphism at codon 72, HPV infection and the etiology of cervical cancer in this population sample.
