Unfortunately, nearly all patients acquire resistance to oxaliplatin after long-term use, limiting its therapeutic efficacy. Since COX-2 and PGE<sub>2</sub> signaling can impact colon cancer cell proliferation and survival, we examined how this pathway was affected in an oxaliplatin resistant colon cancer cell line. PGE<sub>2</sub> levels were significantly elevated in oxaliplatin-resistant ...[more]
