Abstract excerpt
COX-2 overexpression is known to be an important mechanism in gastric carcinogenesis. Previously we have found that early-onset gastric cancer has a unique COX-2 low-expressing phenotype that differs significantly from that of the frequent overexpression seen in conventional gastric cancers. To investigate whether the COX-2 -765 G>C promoter polymorphism (known to lead to a reduction of COX-2 promoter activity in...
