PURPOSE: There is evidence that genetic variation in the prostaglandin pathway affects cancer susceptibility and progression. Conflicting data from several studies exist for the association of PTGS2 (cyclooxygenase 2) polymorphisms with breast cancer risk. We investigated associations between common germ-line variations in seven genes in the prostaglandin pathway and breast cancer susceptibility and survival...
