Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for chemoprevention of colon cancer has been hindered by their potential gastro-intestinal toxicity. Nabumetone, which is approximately 10 to 36 times safer than conventional NSAIDs, was evaluated in 2 models of experimental colon carcinogenesis.
The induction of tumours by chemical carcinogens depends not only on the chemical structure of the substance but also on biological properties of the target cell population, such as enzyme patterns, DNA repair mechanisms and the proliferative state of the cells. Interference with any of these proces
