Furthermore, we recently demonstrated that AT1R was expressed in gynaecological malignancies, including cervical cancer (Kikkawa et al, 2004), endometrial cancer (Watanabe et al, 2003), choriocarcinoma (Ino et al, 2003), and ovarian cancer (Suganuma et al, 2005). The gene discussed is AGTR1; the disease is choriocarcinoma.
