Abstract

Objective: The relationship between angiogenesis and hyperexpression of COX-2 in various tumors has been studied. In our study, COX-2 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and micro vessel density was investigated in relation to each other and with various clinicopathological parameters.
