DIAGNOSIS OF CERVICAL CANCER

摘要

A method of diagnosing cervical cancer in a female or identifying a female which is susceptible to cervical cancer, comprises determining whether cells of a cervical smear taken from the female contain detectable Brn-3a mRNA or detectable Brn-3a protein, wherein detection of Brn-3a mRNA or Brn-3a protein in the cells indicates that the female has cervical cancer or is susceptible to cervical cancer.
