In cervical cancer, recent reports have indicated that the c-Myc expression increases with increasing severity of histological diagnosis (Heng et al., 2018; Ji et al., 2018); these results emphasize the potential function of c-Myc as an indicator in cervical cancer (Li et al., 2014; Gao et al., 2015; Zhao W. H. et al., 2016). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is cervical cancer.
