Recent studies in our laboratory have emphasized a role for EP subtype receptors in progression of colorectal cancer and disease specific mortality. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to extend our knowledge to include additional receptor expression (DP1, DP2, FP, IP, TP) for prostanoids (PGD2, TXA2, PGF2alpha, PGI2) in relationship to tumor stage, differentiation and progression of colorectal cancer. | lld:pubmed |
