Abstract:

Objective

To study the expressions of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and their effects on tumor angiogenesis in human breast carcinoma.

Methods

The expressions of COX-2 and VEGF were detected in 30 cases of primary breast carcinoma and 20 samples of normal breast tissue by immunohistochemical method.The tumor micrangium was also examined using CD34 staining.

Results

The expression rate of COX-2 and VEGF in breast carcinoma tissue was 70.0%(21/30)and 56.7%(17/30)respectively,with significant difference compared with the nomal breast tissue.A significant correlation was found between COX-2 and VEGF expressions.Both COX-2 and VEGF were significantly correlated with tumor angiogenesis.

Conclusion

Both COX-2 and VEGF are related to tumor angiogenesis in breast cancer.

Key words: Breast carcinoma, Cyclooxygenase-2, Vascular endothelial growth factor
