EGFR and uterine cervix neoplasm: Overexpression of EGFR protein in cervical tumours has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis (Pfeiffer et al, 1989; Hale et al, 1993; Kristensen et al, 1996; Kersemaekers et al, 1999; Gaffney et al, 2003), although in some studies, including the present study, this association is less clear (Scambia et al, 1998; Ngan et al, 2001).
