Expression of Hormone Receptors in Cervical Cancer
Started May 2, 2024
Abstract or project description
My project revolves around the subject of cervical cancer and the role of hormone receptors in the development or reduction of the cancer. Specifically, this project goes into detail regarding the expression of estrogen and progesterone and the differences between the presence of these hormones in the body of someone who does suffer with cervical cancer compared to someone who does not. In addition, this project highlights many treatment options specific to certain cases of cervical cancer and what that many involve when it comes to survival and success rates and how it changes the state of the reproductive system.
