Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) is an enzyme that plays a role in different stages of the carcinogenic process and has prognostic and predictive values that have not yet been established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of COX2 overexpression in advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx that has been treated with a phonation conservation protocol.Keywords
