ONCOLOGY: Ovarian Cancer - COX2 GeneFrom: Hope (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:16:52 -0500 (CDT)
Increased Risk Of Ovarian Cancer When Mutation Of The COX2 Gene Occurs (2007) "Researchers in Portugal have discovered that a specific mutation of the COX2 gene seems to play a role in the onset of ovarian cancer, increasing women's susceptibility to developing the disease. The discovery raises the possibility that, if the findings are confirmed by further studies, it might be possible to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, which are used already for other conditions, to prevent ovarian cancer developing in women with the COX2 mutation." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/83693.php Best Regards, Hope, WH Forum Moderator
