Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death and major health concern worldwide. The animal and human studies support the presumption that inflammation directs the cancer initiation and progression. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) are the key players in the inflammatory cascade contributing towards the angiogenesis, tumor cell invasiveness, and disruption in the pathways of cellular proliferation/apoptosis. Contemporary studies have particularized a promising role of COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors in cancer chemoprevention. The present review is a pursuit to define implications of dual COX-2 and 5-LOX (DuCLOX-2/5) inhibition on various aspects of cancer augmentation and chemoprevention.
