Abstract
Primary tumor excision was associated with accelerated local and systemic tumor recurrence. However, these effects were significantly attenuated using selective COX-2 inhibition. The COX-2-inhibition was associated with increased levels of apoptosis. These findings endorse a role for COX-2 inhibition in the secondary prevention of lung cancer recurrence at both local and systemic levels.
