ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the relationship between altered cytoplasmic expression of TGF-ß1 in tissues of the vaginal incisional margin and vaginal cancer recurrence in patients with stage Ib-IIa cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). This paper also discusses the prognostic value of TGF-ß1 expression at these locations. We found that TGF-ß1 expression in the vaginal margin had a close association with vaginal recurrence of stage Ib-IIa CSCC and was an independent prognostic marker of this disease.
