dysplasies reste à définir.
L’emploi d’autres molécules, comme l’IL12 permettant la dif-
férenciation des lymphocytes TH1, pourrait être discuté dans
certaines lésions de dysplasie.
Enfin, des stratégies de vaccination visant à stimuler l’immu-
nité à médiation cellulaire de type cytotoxique chez ces
patientes atteintes de lésions de dysplasie ou de cancers du col
de l’utérus sont actuellement développées dans différents pays.
CONCLUSION
L’analyse de l’expression et du rôle des cytokines dans les
lésions de dysplasie ou le cancer du col de l’utérus présente
donc déjà un intérêt physiopathologique pour la compréhension
de certains mécanismes immunologiques impliqués dans la
pathogénie de ces lésions. Des premières études montrent que
ces cytokines pourraient également constituer les nouveaux
marqueurs pronostiques cliniques de ces pathologies. L’enjeu
de ces prochaines années sera de démontrer que des voies théra-
peutiques originales pourront résulter de ces travaux. ■
