Prognostic significance of cyclooxygenase-2 in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
PURPOSE To determine the relative prognostic significance of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This retrospective cohort study included 82 patients with SCC referred to the Department of Therapeutic Radiology at Yale-New Haven Hospital (Connecticut) between 1980 and 1999 who were treated with primary external be...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of cyclooxygenase-2 overexpression in glottic cancer.
PURPOSE Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression has been associated with a poor prognosis in many cancers. However, the role of COX-2 overexpression in head and neck cancers remains undetermined. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether COX-2 is a prognostic factor in glottic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This study was part of a phase III placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluati...

متن کاملPrognostic significance of elevated cyclooxygenase-2 expression in breast cancer.
Cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression can induce mammary tumorigenesis in transgenic mice, and selective Cox-2 inhibitors are both chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic in rat models of breast cancer. We analyzed the expression of Cox-2 protein by immunohistochemistry in tissue array specimens of 1576 invasive breast cancers. Moderate to strong (elevated) expression of Cox-2 protein was observed i...
متن کاملAdvances in Brief Prognostic Significance of Elevated Cyclooxygenase 2 Expression in Primary, Resected Lung Adenocarcinomas
Recently, we demonstrated that elevated expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is frequently seen in a specific type of lung cancer, i.e., adenocarcinoma, and is possibly associated with its invasion and metastasis. Here, the prognostic significance of elevated COX-2 expression was evaluated in a cohort of 130 adenocarcinoma patients who had consecutively undergone potentially curative resectio...
