Inflammation may worsen colorectal cancer spread after surgery. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could potentially reduce cancer recurrence, warranting clinical trials for adjuvant postoperative treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Experimental and clinical data suggest a link between inflammation and cancer dissemination.
  • Surgical trauma and postoperative infections can induce inflammation, potentially worsening outcomes in colorectal cancer patients.
  • Clinical inflammatory markers like fever, leucocytosis, and C-reactive protein may indicate poor prognosis and cancer recurrence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hypothesis that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce cancer relapses.
  • To evaluate the potential benefit of NSAIDs as an adjuvant postoperative treatment in colorectal cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental studies on cancer dissemination and inflammation.
  • Analysis of clinical observations linking inflammatory signs to cancer prognosis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Proposal for a clinical trial to test NSAIDs as adjuvant postoperative therapy.

    • Main Results:

    • Strong evidence suggests a relationship between inflammation and tumor spread.
    • Inflammatory signs post-surgery are associated with a poorer prognosis and potential cancer recurrence.
    • A hypothesis is formed regarding the potential role of NSAIDs in reducing cancer relapses.

    Conclusions:

    • Inflammation appears to play a significant role in cancer progression and recurrence.
    • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy.
    • Further clinical investigation through adjuvant postoperative treatment trials is recommended.
