Evaluation of VEGF expression correlates with COX ‑2 expression in pleomorphic adenoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma

Conclusion: High expression of VEGF and COX ‑2 in malignant tumors compared to PA suggested therole of both markers in malignant transformation. The significant correlation of VEGF expression withCOX ‑2 may represent the role of COX‑2 in tumor angiogenesis by modulating VEGF production.
