RNA profiling of cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 in colorectal cancer

Cyclooxygenases (particularily Cox-2) are involved in carcinogenesis and metastatic cancer progression. The expression profiles of the cyclooxygenases and the roles they play in established tumours of similar stage remains unclear. We report that Cox-1 and Cox-2 expression is highly variable in Duke...

Sumario:Cyclooxygenases (particularily Cox-2) are involved in carcinogenesis and metastatic cancer progression. The expression profiles of the cyclooxygenases and the roles they play in established tumours of similar stage remains unclear. We report that Cox-1 and Cox-2 expression is highly variable in Dukes' C tumours, and changes in Cox-1 expression may be of importance.
