Diagnostic imaging for pancreatic cancer: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:There is strong evidence for an important role of cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 and COX-2-generated PGE2 during pancreatic tumorigenesis. Cyclooxygenase 2 has therefore become a potential chemotherapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. However, recent studies raised concerns regarding the safety of selective COX-2 i...
