ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in primary hepatocellular carcinoma, in cancer surrounding tissues and normal liver tissue and its relationship with clinical pathological features.Methods:
The expression of COX-2 was detected in 30 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, 20 cases of cancer surrounding tissue and 10 normal liver tissue by flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemistry (SP). The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.Results:
(1)The expression of COX-2 in the HCC tissue was significantly higher than in cancer surrounding tissues and normal liver tissue (P0.05).Conclusion:
The hyperexpression of COX-2 in tissue can reflex the biological behavior of HCC,and have very important role in the development of HCC.The specificness of COX-2 protein expression make it to be new target of tumor diagnosis and treatment.These results provide a theoretical basis for the chemoprevention of hepatoma.
