چکیده

background and objectives: cyclooxygenese-2 (cox-2) expression in breast cancer and its correlation with tumor prognosis is unclear. we investigated the incidence of cox-2 expression in patients and assessed interactions between cox-2 and clinical features of cancer and expression of her2/neu, estrogen receptor (er), and progesterone receptor (pr). methods: cox-2 expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry in 29 patients’ specimens diagnosed as primary breast cancer between 2006 and 2008 at the fatemieh hospital, semnan, iran. relationship between cox-2 expression and age, histological grade, histological type, nodal status, and hormone receptor status were evaluated. results: we used ihc method although it was not a quantitative study. its expression depends on quality of antibody, staining and selection of analyzed region. cox-2, her-2, er, and pr were detected in 89.7%, 51.7%, 82.8%, and 79.3% of samples, respectively. elevated cox-2 expression was not associated with size and grade of tumor, while mean numbers of involved lymph nodes was significantly higher in those with elevated expression of cox-2 (p = 0.001). there were no significant correlations between cox-2 expression and her-2, er, and pr receptors. conclusion: only tumor tissue was analyzed and did not compare to normal tissue. elevated cox-2 expression can be found in most patients with breast cancer and has a crucial role in tumor differentiation regarding degree of lymph node involvement. it seems that correlation between cox-2 and other oncogens and hormonal receptors might be influenced by geographical and racial factors, so, assessment of these relationships in each patient's population may be necessary.

Effect of hormone receptors and Her-2 status on metastasis status in patients with breast cancer using logistic regression model

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among women. According to estimates in 2018, the most frequency of cancer in Iranian women was related to breast cancer with 13776 (12.5%) new cases. Metastasis is a complication of this disease that occurs in 1%-5% of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hormone recep...

Evaluation of Expression of EGFR, HER-2 and COX-2 in Colorectal Cancer

Background and objective: EGFR and HER-2 are two members of ERbB/HER family of Type I Transmembrane growth factor receptors. Cox2 is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which has a major role in angiogenesis and can modelate tumor growth. The aim of this study was to determine the level of expression of EGFR, HER-2 and Cox2 in colorectd cancer. Mater...
