Evaluation of Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Association with Clinical-Pathological Factors in Malignant Melanoma
Background and Objective: The primary goal of this study is to develop a rigorous understanding ofthe correlation between COX-2 expression and malignant melanoma prognostic factors. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed 60 cases of cutaneous malignant melanoma. The related stained slides were reviewed by two pathologists. The re...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in dysplasia of the stomach and in intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma.
PURPOSE Cyclooxygenase (Cox) is the key enzyme in conversion of arachidonic acid to prostanoids. Two Cox genes have been cloned, and expression of Cox-2 mRNA and protein has been shown to be elevated in several human malignancies and in animal models of carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate Cox-2 protein expression in human gastric dysplasias and adenocarcinomas. EXPERI...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 and clinicopathologic features of colorectal cancer in northern Thailand.
Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2, have been identified and shown to be involved in tumorigenesis. Although, overexpression of COX-2 in human cancers has been repeatedly reported, no data have hitherto been available for Thai patients. To cast light on the role(s) of COX enzymes in the development and progression of colorectal cancers and to determine the incidence of COX-2 overex...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in gastritis and gastric premalignant lesions
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, the protein that plays a key role in gastric carcinogenesis, is being evaluated as a pharmacological target for both the prevention and treatment of cancer [1,2]. Tumor promotion may be attributed to the stimulation of cell proliferation and migration, the inhibition of apoptosis, the increase in malignant cell invasiveness and the induction of angiogenesis [1-3]. We aim...
