From the Paper:

"A report demonstrated that approximately 25 percent of apparent squamous tumors have demonstrable mucin production and behave more aggressively than their pure squamous counterparts suggesting that any adenomatous differentiation may confer a negative prognosis. The decreased survival is mainly due to more advanced stage and nodal involvement rather than cell type as an independent variable. Human immunodeficiency virus-infected women have more aggressive and advanced disease and a poorer prognosis. A study of patients with known invasive squamous carcinoma of the cervix found that over-expression of the c-myc oncogene was associated with a poorer prognosis. Number of cells in S phase may also have prognostic significance in early cervical carcinoma (National Cancer Institute 9)."
