COX-2 expression in human breast cancer correlates with decreased disease-free survival. Distant disease-free survival of breast cancer patients was plotted as a function of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression: score 0 = no COX-2 expression (n = 133); score 1 = weak COX-2 expression (n = 854); score 2 = moderate COX-2 expression (n = 511); and score 3 = strong COX-2 expression (n = 78). Elevated expression of COX-2 protein correlated with reduced survival (P < 0.0001; log rank test). Reproduced from [26] with permission from the American Association of Cancer Research.
