  • VEGF-D Promotes Tumor Metastasis by Regulating Prostaglandins Produced by the Collecting Lymphatic Endothelium

    2012, Cancer Cell
    Citation Excerpt :

    Since lymphatics are a conduit for immune cells, it cannot be excluded that VEGF-D-induced dilation of collecting lymphatics may contribute to metastasis by altering the traffic and behavior of immune cells in the SLN, consequently modulating metastatic burden. NSAIDs are commonly used for the treatment of inflammatory disease and can restrict the development of colon cancer (Thun and Heath, 1995; Mantovani et al., 2008; Hirsch et al., 2010) and tumor spread in breast and prostate cancer patients (Holmes et al., 2010; Leitzmann et al., 2002), yet the precise antimetastatic mechanism is unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that COX-2 overexpression and high PGE2 levels are associated with tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, processes crucial for metastasis (Iwata et al., 2007; Amano et al., 2003; Tsujii et al., 1998).

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and lung cancer risk: A population-based case control study

    2007, Journal of Thoracic Oncology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Exposure to NSAIDs during the 5 years before the index date was determined using the detailed TennCare pharmacy file. Because previous studies suggest that cumulative duration of NSAID exposure is important,17,29,30 NSAID exposure-days were determined for each person based on the prescribed days supply. We further classified these exposure-days into four categories (none, <12 months, 12–24 months, 25–60 months).
