## Abstract ## Background. Recent studies have demonstrated that cyclooxygenaseโ2 (COXโ2) expression is associated with the carcinogenesis of numerous neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of COXโ2 in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). ## Methods. Tissue specimens of thyroid
## Abstract Androgen receptor (__AR__) is a ligandโdependent transcription factor, which plays a significant role in prostate carcinogenesis. Blockade of __AR__ and its ligand, androgen is the basis for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Nevertheless, a modest increase in the critical levels o
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an uncommon tumour of calcitonin-secreting C-cells of the thyroid gland. This cancer represents an important potential model for the study of mechanisms of human epithelial cell transformation. Although recent studies have identified the gene involved in familial
