The association between prostaglandin E2 and tumor / 中华疾病控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Epidemiological,experimental and clinical studies had demonstrated the affinity between the development of tumor and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).The level of PGE2 was elevated in tumor tissues and the relation was detected between PGE2 and the tumor size,tumor stage,metastasis,prognosis as well as reoccurrence.Thus,using inhibitors and detecting level of PGE2 play a vital role in the prevention and clinical treatment of tumors.
