title: A clinico-pathological study of cervical carcinoma through histopathology, SEM and tumour marker expression.
abstract: Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the commonest tumour in India. Our study on the biological behaviour of cervical carcinoma was made with respect to oncofetoprotein expression, histopathology and scanning electron microscopy. A clinical picture was compared with the above three parameters to note the embryonic degeneration of the tumour. The objective of this study was to establish a new grading system of tumour pathology which might be an adjunct to clinical staging. This should be helpful for the formulation of different treatment protocols.
