In an attempt to improve the molecular detection of UCC nodal involvement, we evaluated the prognostic potential of several biomarkers that characterize the epithelial origin of cervical cancer cells, such as cytokeratin 19 (CK19), mucin 1 (MUC1), and human epidermal growth factor receptors 1-4 (HER 1-4) [26]. The gene discussed is MUC1; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
