It was found that phosphorylated STAT3 elevated the levels of the anti-apoptotic genes BCL-2 like 1 (BCL-XL), Survivin, and Myeloid Cell Leukemia Sequence 1 (MCL-1) in endometrial and cervical cancer tissues relative to normal tissue samples, aiding in their progression (63). This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and cervical carcinoma.
