Cox-2 is needed but not sufficient for apoptosis induced by Cox-2 selective inhibitors in colon cancer cellsB Agarwal
Division of Gastroenterology, St Louis University, School of Medicine, St Louis, MO 63105, USA
Apoptosis 8:649-54. 2003..In conclusion, selective Cox-2 inhibitors can induce apoptosis independent of Cox-2 expression. However they may selectively target cells that express Cox-2 by decreasing their Cox-2 protein expression...

Endoscopic ultrasound after preoperative chemoradiation can help identify patients who benefit maximally after surgical esophageal resectionBanke Agarwal
Department of GI Medicine and Nutrition, Medical Oncology and Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA
Am J Gastroenterol 99:1258-66. 2004..EUS and EUS-guided FNA can be helpful in identifying residual tumor in the lymph nodes after preoperative chemoXRT to select patients who benefit maximally from surgery...
Malignant mediastinal lymphadenopathy detected by staging EUS in patients with pancreaticobiliary cancerBanke Agarwal
