Analysis of angiogenic factors and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in cartilaginous tumors: clinical and histological correlation
OBJECTIVES: To study the role of angiogenesis and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in cartilaginous tumors and correlate these factors with prognosis.INTRODUCTION: For chondrosarcoma, the histological grade is the current standard for predicting tumor outcome.However, a low-grade chondrosarcoma can follow an aggressive course-as monitored by sequential
