La ciclooxigenasa-2 está regulada al alza en el pulmón y en los tumores bronquiales de pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica

This study shows that in COPD, the pathway of cyclooxygenase is activated and associated with an increase in the expression of COX-2 in lung tumors. These observations suggest that COX-2 is possibly involved in the association between COPD and cancer.
