Gastrointestinal carcinomas synthesize elevated levels of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), which has been mechanistically linked to carcinogenesis. Recently, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) was cloned, which seems to be inducible and linked to cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) in the biosynthesis

β¦ Synopsis
Mitotic (MI) and apoptotic index (AI), the sum of the 2, i.e., the turnover index (TI), tumor neovascularization (NV) and p53 expression, as well as tumor grading and node status, are evaluated in early and advanced gastric-cancer cases. T1 cases show significantly less frequent lymph-node invasion and lower tumor grade, and, taken together, have significantly lower MI, Al and TI and higher values of NV than the T2-3 cases. However, correlation of the variables shows that the above-mentioned discrimination is due to a minority of T1 cases (11 out of 33), while the majority of them are allocated in the same 95% ellipse of tolerance of the T2-3 cases.

Background. There is little information concerning alteration in histologic differentiation with progression of gastric cancers. Methods. The authors analyzed data of 912 patients with early gastric cancer and 1245 with advanced gastric cancer. All patients underwent gastric resection. Special focu
