growth.
Background:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) initiates cervical cancer, and continuous expression of HPV oncogenes E6 and E7 is thought to be necessary to maintain malignant
growth.
In addition, indole -3-carbinol increases the ability of the liver to detoxify toxic compounds and also decreases the
