Malignant tumor of colon
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acids, is known to be up-regulated in colon cancer, and multiple lines of evidence indicate that it is a critical early step in colon carcinogenesis. 11731423 2001
