| pubmed-article:10451445 | pubmed:abstractText | Prostate cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer in men in the United States, with an estimated 179 300 new cases in 1999. The induction of prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS), a key rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, has been implicated in various cancers, most notably in colorectal cancers; however, the induction of PGHS expression in prostate cancer in vivo has not been reported for any species. The dog is the only nonhuman species that frequently develops spontaneous cancer of the prostate with increasing age, and the objective of this study was to determine whether PGHS isoenzymes were expressed in canine prostatic adenocarcinomas. | lld:pubmed |
