Özet

Objectives: The role of inflammation in carcinogenesis is unknown. To determine the relationship between cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression, inflammation, and carcinogenesis in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we looked for COX-2 expression in normal and pyelonephritic kidney, renal intratubular neoplasia (RIN), and RCC tissues.
