The role of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in the development of cervical neoplasia and carcinoma

Janina Markowska et al. Med Wieku Rozwoj. 2005 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

This paper is a comparative analysis of several recent studies on the relationship between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical carcinoma. In the pathogenesis of cervical cancer, the role of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is already well-documented; however, chronic Chlamydia trachomatis infection may have an indirect influence on the development of the disease.
