摘要: Abstract Growing evidence from epidemiologic and preclinical studies suggests that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma. However, there is also indicating absence this benefit. The exact mechanism NSAIDs’ action on GI tumors not known. Although some have suggested inhibition carcinogenesis by NSAIDs through suppression effect inflammation-associated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, other COX-2-independent mechanisms. Herein, we summarize current state of-the-science regarding NSAID benefit for patients with cancers.
