Combined Analysis of COX-2 and p53 Expressions Reveals Synergistic Inverse Correlations with Microsatellite Instability and CpG Island Methylator Phenotype in Colorectal Cancer
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression and mutations of p53 (a known COX-2 regulator) are inversely associated with microsatellite instability—high (MSI-H) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), characterized by extensive promoter methylation, is associated with MSI-H. However, no studies have...
