Abstract excerpt
To identify the role of eicosanoid-mediated pathways for gastric carcinogenesis, the expression of enzymes (COX-1, COX-2, 5-LOX) and receptors (BLT-1, CysLTR(1)) were immunohistochemically studied in H. pylori positive patients with a risk gastritis phenotype and either successful or unsuccessful eradication (n=12, each; followed up for a median of 5 years). Gastric cancer risk index improved significantly after...
