Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2: a new targeted therapy for B-cell lymphoma?
Abstract:
The purpose of this editorial is to highlight the findings reported herein in the paper by Wun et al. on the connection between expression of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme and B-cell lymphoma [Leuk. Res., in press]. We will first briefly review key aspects of the COX-2 enzyme, the newly discovered prostaglandin (PG) synthases and their PG products, and their roles both in inflammation and in the pathogenesis of cancer. Having placed the COX pathway in this context, the discussion will then return to the provocative findings of Wun et al. [Leuk. Res., 28, 2004].

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
