1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies have implicated mitogenic metabolites of arachidonic acid such as prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in colorectal carcinogenesis. Recently, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) which catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid to PGE(2), has displayed increased levels in human colorectal cancer. AIMS: To evaluate whether there is differential COX-2 expression from...
