Objective To investigate the relationship of expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) with the growth pattern,malignant degree,metastasis and prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST).Methods The expression of COX-2 and VEGF was examined with immunohistochemistry from paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 54 patients with GIST,and special attention was given to analyze the relationship between COX-2、VEGF expressions and clinicopathologic factors of the neoplasm.Results The expression of COX-2 and VEGF was significantly higher in malignant GIST than in benign and potentially malignant GIST(P
