Abstract:
Recently, studies involving uterine cervical cancer and uterine corpus cancer have been reported from many institutes. The presence of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in human uterine cancer is crucial for maintaining immunological homeostasis. To improve treatment strategies, I will be reviewing recent studies in the field. This work will discuss the central role that Treg cells play in the development of uterine cancer, which makes these cells a key missing component in current cancer immunotherapy.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
