Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix (SCCC) commonly metastasizes to lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones, but involvement of the biliary system is rare. We present a 39-year-old woman with a history of stage IVa SCCC in remission for 18 months who developed obstructive jaundice due to a common bile duct stricture. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cholangioscopy confirmed metastatic SCCC. This case highlights a rare manifestation of SCCC presenting with biliary obstruction, even at uncommon metastatic sites.

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...
