<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Backgroud: Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of chronic inflammation in the progression of prostate cancer, and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), also known as cyclooxygenase-2, catalyzes the rate-limiting steps of the pathway. We hypothesized that genetic variants of PTGS2 can influence the outcome of prostate cancer patients.<h4>Methods</h4>We genotyped five haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to detect common genetic variations a ...[more]
