January - Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. However, it is also one of the most successfully treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively.
On occasion of the Cervical Cancer Awareness Month we hope you will enjoy reading the following article published in BMC Cancer in 2022 suggesting that exosomal RNA cargos might be used as diagnostic biomarkers of cervical cancer.
