## Abstract ## Introduction The cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2), responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin (PG) E2, is known to increase intracellular cAMP and estrogen production in malignant breast tissue. The aromatase enzyme complex is responsible for local production of e
## BACKGROUND. The bcI-2 gene encodes for a protein that blocks apoptosis. Although the Ocl-2 protein has been identified in some invasive breast cancers, its expression in preinvasive breast lesions has not been well characterized. ## METHODS. We studied bcl-2 expression using immunohistochemi
