COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Section IV then discusses the molecular biology of COX -2 vis-a-vis the role of COX -2 and, to a lesser extent, COX -1, in modulating a number of important processes in molecular carcinogenesis such as mutagen esis, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. The authors elucidate the process by which COX-2 inhibitors interrupt prostaglandin biosynthesis and cancer development, examine the positive epidemiological effects of such NSAIDs as aspirin and ibuprofen on various cancers, and demonstrate through animal models that COX-2 inhibitors and NSAIDs inhibit a variety of malignant neoplasms in vivo.

In addition, the authors review the clinical applications of selected NSAIDs that are immediately relevant to cancer prevention and control and outline the future prospects of COX-2 blocking agents. This text documents the converging evidence that COX-2 blocking agents and other non-steroidal anti-flammatory drugs NSAIDS have chemopreventure and therapeutic effects against virtually all forms of cancer.

It also covers the epidemiologic evidence suggesting that COX-2 inhibitors protect against cancers of the colon, breast and other anatomic sites; animal and molecular models demonstrating that these compounds block critical steps in carcinogenesis; and pharmacologic findings and clinical applications which are immediately relevant to cancer prevention, therapy and control.
