Abstract

Despite the increasing awareness of early diagnosis and treatment has brought about a downtrend in the morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer, recent years have still witnessed an obvious uptrend in the incidence rate among the young patients. Galectin-3 and p16, which play an important role in the incidence and development of cervical cancer and are closely related to its diagnosis and prognosis, are often used as important indicators of the clinical diagnosis of cervical cancer. This article reviews the protein structures of galectin-3 and p16 as well as their expression mechanism and abnormal expression regarding to cervical cancer.
