Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer is associated with lymphovascular invasion
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is associated with carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The current study analyzed the effect of COX-2 expression in patients with invasive squamous cervical cancer. Tissue samples from 123 cervical cancer patients were collected for a retrospective analysis using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with an antibody against COX-2. The clinical and survival data of the patients ...
متن کاملIncreased Expression of ATG10 in Colorectal Cancer Is Associated with Lymphovascular Invasion and Lymph Node Metastasis
BACKGROUND Autophagy has paradoxical and complex functions in cancer development, and autophagy-related genes (ATG) are key regulators in autophagy. Until now, more than 30 different ATG proteins have been identified in yeast, and their mammalian counterparts also have been reported. Although the roles of a few ATG proteins in cancer have been characterized, the role of ATG10 is almost complete...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression in cervical cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIM Cyclooxygenase (COX) or prostaglandin H2 synthase is the first enzyme that catalyzes the first two steps in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. The aim of the study was to determine the expression level of COX-2 in patients with cervical cancer and compare it with that in the control group with no cervical pathology. METHODS The study included 76 patients ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 is overexpressed in human cervical cancer.
Multiple lines of evidence suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an important target for preventing epithelial malignancies. Little is known, however, about the expression of COX-2 in gynecological malignancies. By immunoblot analysis, COX-2 was detected in 12 of 13 cases of cervical cancer but was undetectable in normal cervical tissue. Immunohistochemistry revealed COX-2 in malignant epith...
متن کاملRole of cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer
Concurrent radiation and chemotherapy is a standard treatment of patients with cervical cancer in FIGO stages IB2-IVA. Chemotherapy given in the same time as irradiation improved survival significant, but not involves all patients. Cancer recurrence is the most common treatment failure in patients with advanced tumor. Further improvement in the treatment of advanced cases is essential. The incr...
