Detection for HPV-Induced invasive cancers and their precursor lesions with invasive potential

摘要

This invention provides a method of detecting an HPV-induced invasive cancer or precursor lesion thereof associated with tumor suppressor lung cancer 1 (TSLC1) in a subject in need thereof. The method comprises contacting a cell component of a test cell of the subject with a reagent that detects the level of the cell component in the test cell and determining a modification in the level of the cell component in the test cell as compared with a comparable healthy cell. The cell component indicates the level of TSLC1 in the cell, and a decrease in the level of TSLC1 indicates the presence of an HPV-induced invasive cancer or precursor lesion.
