Serum copper levels (SCL) have been done in 106 patients of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and in 15 cases of local recurrences. The mean SCL has been significantly elevated in them in comparison to controls (P < 0.001). The SCL falls to near normal range following successful therapy. There i

## Abstract The presence of hypoxia in tumours results in the overexpression of certain genes, which are controlled via the transcription factor HIFβ1. Hypoxic cells are known to be radioresistant and chemoresistant, thus, a reliable surrogate marker of hypoxia is desirable to ensure that treatment
Cervix cancer remains a significant cause of mortality, causing 30% of deaths from all gynecologic cancers. Treatment is determined by clinical staging. Disease confined to the uterine cervix is appropriately managed by irradiation. Unfortunately clinical assessment of cervical tumor spread is often
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Optimal timing of the measurement of serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen during radiation therapy (RT) and its significance for predicting the response of cervical carcinoma patients as early as possible remain unknown. ## METHODS Sixtyβthree patients with SCC o
