Abstract

The role of COX enzymes was previously well defined in the inflammation and pain. Recently, studies have shown increased COX-2 expression in malignant tumors of the human and canine patients and its association with multiple events in cancer progression. As of now, it is likely to be a novel target of intervention by combining standard chemotherapy with NSAIDs, especially to delay the progression of cancer.

Abbreviations: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID); Cyclooxygenase (COX)
