Abstract

The review gives updates on the pathogenesis of background, precancer, and cancer of the cervix uteri. Epidemiological and molecular biological studies have established that human papillomavirus infection is the most important factor of carcinogenesis of the cervix uteri. The impact of reproductive dysfunction on the development of cervical pathology has been assessed and a possible mechanism of involvement of sex steroids in carcinogenesis assumed.

В обзоре представлены современные данные о патогенезе фоновых, предраковых заболеваний и рака шейки матки. В результате эпидемиологических и молекулярно-биологических исследований установлено, что важнейшим фактором канцерогенеза шейки матки является инфицирование женщин вирусом папилломы человека. Проводится оценка степени влияния функциональных нарушений репродуктивной системы на развитие патологии шейки матки, а также предполагается возможный механизм участия половых стероидов в канцерогенезе.

Keywords: cancer of the cervix uteri; endocrinopathy; sex steroids.
