Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggested that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit lung tumorigenesis under conditions that are immunosuppressive. We hypothesized that this inhibition of mouse lung tumorigenesis requires induction of apoptosis and inhibition of COX (cyclooxygenase)-1, COX-2, and the incidence of K-ras mutation. The NSAIDs used in this study include acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) that is...
