Furthermore, it has been shown that HPV-16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins can result in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression likely by increasing the tumor angiogenesis via HIF-1alpha/VEGF pathways which may be considered as a potential molecular targets for HPV-related NSCLC44 treatment [41]. Here, VEGFA is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
