Abstract
Purpose: Inhibition of COX-2 enzymes is a frequently suggested mechanism for the beneficial effects of NSAIDs on carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to explore the role of cumulative NSAID use on four common nonskin related cancers and modification by COX-2 G C genotype. Patients and methods: 7621 participants of The Rotterdam Study were included. In a mean follow up period of 10 years, 720 colorectal, lung, breast or prostate cancers occurred. Cumulative NSAID use was calculated per NSAID class. Individual associations of NSAID use and COX-2 G C genotype on cancer risk were explored with Cox proportional hazard models. Next, the association of NSAIDs and cancer stratified by COX-2 genotype was studied. Finally, the effect of combinations of NSAID use and COX-2 genotype on survival times was investigated. Conclusion: Our results confirm the protective effect of NSAID use on colorectal cancer. Individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer who carry a COX-2 C allele and are on NSAIDs have an increased survival in comparison to non-users with the wild type .

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
