Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in adenomyosis and endometrial polyps and its correlation with angiogenesis

This study investigates the expression of cyclooxgenase (COX)-2 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 in patients with adenomyosis or endometrial polyps and their possible relation to microvascular density in these lesions. The subjects were 25 patients with adenomyosis, 30 patients with endometrial...
