Studies in other cancers including pancreatic, head, neck, and cervical cancers, have noted associations between ATP13A3 expression and poorer overall survival, suggesting a role for this polyamine uptake pathway in other cancer types as well, although detailed studies into the role of this transporter in most cancers are largely lacking [16, 31, 36, 37, 38]. This evidence concerns the gene ATP13A3 and cervical cancer.
