Aspirin inhibits tumor growth, USF lab study finds.(University of South Florida)(Brief Article)
2002 DEC 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Aspirin may reduce ovarian cancer growth, a new study has shown.
The study, published in Obstetrics and Gynecology, demonstrated that aspirin inhibited ovarian tumor cell growth by as much as 68%. The higher the dosage of aspirin added to the culture of ovarian cancer cells, the more growth inhibition was observed.
The researchers also found that combining aspirin with a monoclonal antibody specific for the HER-2/neu protein created even greater suppression of growth than treating the tumor cells with aspirin alone. This combination decreased ovarian cancer cell growth by 84%.
HER-2/neu is a receptor protein on the tumor cell surface that binds to a substance that stimulates growth. The protein is elevated in a third of ovarian cancers.
