TGF-β-mediated activation of fibroblasts in cervical cancer: implications for tumor microenvironment and prognosis
This study confirmed the important role of the TGF-β signaling pathway in CC, especially in fibroblasts on tumor microenvironment and tumor progression. The current model could effectively evaluate the prognosis of CC, providing a theoretical foundation for developing CC therapies according to the TGF-β signaling pathway. The present results provide new perspectives for further research on the pathological mechanisms and clinical management of CC.
