Abstract excerpt
Aspirin exhibits potential as a repurposed agent for preventing and treating cancer, specifically PIK3CA-mutated (MT) colorectal cancer. However, the fundamental biological reasons for the particular antitumor activity of aspirin against PIK3CA-MT colorectal cancer are not yet fully elucidated. We have previously established that aspirin relates to glutamine metabolism in PIK3CA-MT colorectal cancer. In...
