Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible enzyme that catalyzes prostaglandins through inflammatory response, which may be involved in autoimmune diseases and cancer pathogenesis. Two potentially functional genetic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (COX-2 -1195G>A and 8473T>C) were supposed to contribute to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) susceptibility. The aim of this study was to determine the...
