Description

Objectives: DNA sequence variants in the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene may lead to altered COX-2 production and/or activity, resulting in interindividual differences in susceptibility to pancreatic cancer. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the relationship between polymorphisms in the COX-2 gene and the risk of pancreatic cancer in a European population.
