Cyclooxygenase-2 expression in epithelial neoplasms and its relevance as a targeted therapy in dogs
ABSTRACT: Targeted therapy of neoplasms is an emergent approach in human and veterinary medicine. Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a class of catalytic enzymes related to the formation of inflammatory mediators. COX-2 is expressed constitutively in a few body tissues, but it may be induced in specific pathop...
