title: Amplification of the c-myc proto-oncogene in cervical carcinoma.
abstract: Amplification without structural rearrangements of the c-myc proto-oncogene was found in 14 of 44 primary cervical neoplasms. There was no apparent correlation with stage of disease or degree of cellular differentiation. The prognostic significance of c-myc amplification cannot be determined from this study.
