[Elastic fibers of the cervical stroma in precancer and cancer]. 1975

G N Murav'ev

Along with the description of the architectonics of elastic fibres in normal cervicovaginal tissues the kinetics of their changes was followed in precancerous conditions and cancer of the cervix. It was found that during the process of growth and development of precancerous lesions and cancer elastic fibres would undergo a number of gradually increasing changes from surface, reversible to profound, irreversible with their ultimate total destruction.
