NQO1 and cervical carcinoma: On studying the mean NQO1 expression in different lesions, we found increased expression in SIL (45%, mean ± SD: 18.35 ± 24.94) and cervical carcinoma (76%, mean ± SD: 44.34 ± 29.52) cases compared to normal tissue (20%, mean ± SD: 3.70 ± 5.01) and the difference between all examined groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001) as shown in Table 1, Figure 3a.
