The re-awakening of hCG expression. Its role in the diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: Our study supports the association of ectopic hCG expression in cancer pathogenesis by demonstrating strong hCG immunoreactivity only in SCC cases. This finding can be helpful in supporting the diagnosis of invasive carcinoma in small or fragmented biopsies, which can on their own be confusing for the pathologists.
