Updated project metadata. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection related malignancy remains a severe public health problem worldwide, although HPV prophylactic vaccine has been introduced 15 years ago . HPV-associated cancers comprise 29.1% of all 2.2 million infection-related cancers, including nearly 100% of cervical cancers1 and some head and neck cancers . Cervical cancers are the 3rd most common cancer in women worldwide, HPV16 and 18 account for about 70% of cervical cancers. Moreover, high-risk HPV infection, especially HPV16 infection, is related to a proportion of head and neck epithelial carcinoma in both developed and undeveloped countries. HPV related cancers are most severe in developing countries where HPV prophylactic vaccination rates are low.In this project, we use iTRAQ8plex-labelling proteomics to comparatively study the protein contents in the tumour tissues of early and late stage cervical cancer patietns.
