Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and incidence of colorectal cancer: a population-based study.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Previous observational studies have provided limited information on the effect of specific nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and different patterns of use (duration and dose) on the incidence of colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE To determine how patterns of use (duration, dose, and specific drug) of NSAIDs affect incidence of colorectal cancer. DESIGN Population-based retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tennessee Medicaid Program, 1985-1992. SUBJECTS Enrollees (n = 104217) aged 65 years or older with at least 5 years of enrollment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incident histologically confirmed colorectal cancer. RESULTS Users of nonaspirin NSAIDs for at least 48 months of the previous 5 years had a relative risk (RR) of 0.49 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-1.00) for colon cancer when compared with those with no use of NSAIDs. Among those with more than 12 months of cumulative use, those using NSAIDs in the past year (recent users) had an RR of 0.61 (95% CI, 0.48-0.77), whereas those with no recent use had an RR of 0.76 (95% CI, 0.50-1.15). No specific NSAID offered a unique protective effect and low doses of NSAIDs appeared to be at least as effective as higher doses. Protection was most pronounced for right-sided lesions. The RR among recent users with more than 12 months of cumulative use was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.49-1.32) for rectal cancer, 0.77 (95% CI, 0.55-1.08) for left-sided colon cancer, and 0.48 (95% CI, 0.34-0.68) for right-sided colon cancer. CONCLUSIONS In this elderly population, long-term use of nonaspirin NSAIDs nearly halved the risk of colon cancer. This study was consistent with previous studies that suggest that duration of use but not daily dose of NSAIDs is an important factor for chemoprevention. Our data also suggest that the protective effect is shared by most NSAIDs, and not confined to a small number of these drugs.

Genetic Variations in SMAD7 Are Associated with Colorectal Cancer Risk in the Colon Cancer Family Registry
BACKGROUND Recent genome-wide studies identified a risk locus for colorectal cancer at 18q21, which maps to the SMAD7 gene. Our objective was to confirm the association between SMAD7 SNPs and colorectal cancer risk in the multi-center Colon Cancer Family Registry. MATERIALS AND METHODS 23 tagging SNPs in the SMAD7 gene were genotyped among 1,592 population-based and 253 clinic-based families....

Evaluation the effects of diclofenac and oxaliplatin on the expression of caspase8 and caspase9 genes in Colorectal Cancer cell line(SW480)
Background and Aim: Induction of apoptosis is one of the main goals in the production of anticancer drugs. Recently, the evaluation of the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and apoptosis in cancer cells has been promising. Caspase8, caspase9. Methods: In this experimental-laboratory study, sw480 colorectal cancer cells were treated with different concentrations o...
