SPP1 and cervical carcinoma: According to the previous studies, SPP1 is overexpressed in various cancer types (Xu et al. (2017); Choe et al. (2018); Zhang et al. (2020)) and identified as a prognostic factor (Li et al. (2018); Chen J et al. (2019); Guo et al. (2020)), while to our knowledge, no study has explored the relationship of SPP1 expression and cervical cancer.
