ABSTRACT
One of the leading causes of mortality for women is gynecologic cancer (GC). Numerous molecules (tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes) are involved in this form of cancer's invasion, metastasis, tumorigenic process, and therapy resistance. Currently, there is a shortage of efficient methods to eliminate these diseases, hence it is crucial to carry out more extensive studies on GCs. Novel pharmaceuticals are required to surmount this predicament. Highly conserved molecular chaperon, heat shock protein (HSP) 90, is essential for the maturation of recently produced polypeptides and offers a refuge for misfolding or denatured proteins to be turned around. In cancer, the client proteins of HSP90 play a role in the entire process of oncogenesis, which is linked to all the characteristic features of cancer. In this study, we explore the various functions of HSPs in GC progression. We also discuss their potential as promising targets for pharmacological therapy.
