On the other hand, overexpression of FasL was observed as malignancy progressed into CC, accompanied by a down-regulation of apoptosis and the inflammatory response; this resulted in cervical carcinoma cells escaping the immune system, metastasis, a worse prognosis, and a lower patient survival rate (20, 27, 28, 30, 31). The gene discussed is FASLG; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
