To detect HOXD9 levels in cervical cancer species and to explore the relationship between HOXD9 level and prognosis in cervical cancer patients. We also verify the influence of HOXD9 on metastatic abilities in cervical cancer. ⋯ HOXD9 is upregulated in cervical cancer species. Its level is closely linked to metastasis rate and poor prognosis in cervical cancer patients. Through positively regulating HMCN1 level, HOXD9 stimulates migratory and invasive capacities in cervical cancer cells.
