Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays important roles in the modulation of apoptosis, angiogenesis, immune response, and tumor invasion. Elevated COX-2 expression has been reported to be correlated with reduced survival after radiotherapy. This study examined whether genetic variations in the COX-2 gene are associated with different survival in inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)...
