摘要
Use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Moreover, the NSAID sulindac reduces the number and size of polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. The mechanisms of these effects of NSAIDs are not known but several lines of evidence suggest the involvement of the inhibition of the inducible isoform of prostaglandin H synthase (known as COX-2). Specific COX-2 inhibitors, showing an improved profile of gastrointestinal safety vis-a-vis conventional NSAIDs, provide interesting tools to probe the COX-2 dependence of the apparent protection against colorectal cancer associated with the use of NSAIDs.
