Abstract excerpt
Establishment of an early and reliable biomarker for oral carcinogenesis whose expression can be monitored through noninvasive techniques will enable early diagnosis of cancer. Cyclooxygenases (COXs) have been implicated previously in several human malignancies, and the therapeutic benefit of specific COX-2 inhibitors has been elucidated. The expression of COX-2 and subsequent markers of malignant progression was...
