- Abstract
Various studies suggest that aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are promising anticancer agents. Epidemiological studies have found that long-term use of NSAIDs is associated with a reduced incidence of colorectal, gastric and oesophageal cancers, while experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with NSAIDs causes a statistically significant reduction in both the number and the size of polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients.
