Colorectal cancer (CRC) chemoprevention is an area of interest. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are anti-inflammatory agents which have been identified as cancer chemoprevention agents given that inflammation is thought to contribute to tumorigenesis. Most studies have demonstrated that the NSAID, aspirin, plays a beneficial role in the prevention of CRC and colonic adenomas. Non-aspirin NSAIDs (NA-NSAIDs) have also been studied in CRC chemoprevention. There is increasing literature around their role in pre-cancerous polyp prevention and in decreasing CRC incidence and CRC-related outcomes in certain high-risk subgroups. However, the use of NA-NSAIDs may be accompanied by increased risks of toxicity. Further studies are required to establish the associations between concurrent aspirin and NA-NSAID use, and CRC-related outcomes.
结直肠癌(CRC)的化学预防是一个研究热点。非甾体类抗炎药(NSAIDs)具有抗炎作用,被认为是癌症化学预防剂,因为炎症被认为有助于肿瘤发生。大多数研究表明,抗炎药阿司匹林在预防 CRC 和结肠腺瘤方面发挥了有益作用。非阿司匹林类 NSAIDs(NA-NSAIDs)也在 CRC 的化学预防中进行了研究。关于它们在癌前息肉预防以及在某些高危亚组中降低 CRC 发病率和与 CRC 相关结局方面的作用,相关文献越来越多。然而,NA-NSAIDs 的使用可能伴随着毒性增加的风险。需要进一步的研究来确定同时使用阿司匹林和 NA-NSAIDs 与 CRC 相关结局之间的关联。
