Collaborative chemoprevention projects between the United States (US), China, Korea, and Japan are desirable because each country contributes significant specialized resources and expertise, making the projects proceed more rapidly than they could in any one country alone. The US offers experience i
We have studied aspirin as a potential chemopreventive for colorectal cancer, completing Phase I studies on aspirin pharmacology and potential biomarker assays (prostaglandins, PGE 2 and PGF 2โฃ and cyclooxygenase modulation) in normal human subjects.
