Amplification and up-regulation of MIR30D was associated with disease progression of cervical squamous cell carcinomas

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the most frequent type among cervical cancers. Although the altered miRNA miR-30d expression and the amplified chromosome locus of MIR30D, 8q24, have been reported in somatic cancers, the definitive functional impact of such region especially in CSCC remains under-investigated.
