Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in epithelial ovarian cancers in an Indigenous African population of Kano, Nigeria
More than one-third of EOCs occurred ≤50 years and more than half of EOCs over-expressed COX-2. There were significant statistical associations between COX-2 over-expression and grade, type II tumours or HGSC indicating that it may influence the outcomes of EOC with possible variation in tumour type and grade.
