Rola mesalazyny w chemoprewencji raka jelita grubego
Journal Title: Folia Medica Lodziensia - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 2
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in females and the third in males. Every year there are more than a million new cases of colorectal cancer and more than six hundred thousand patients die. The risk factors of colorectal cancer include unhealthy lifestyle, genetic predisposition (found in about 25% of cases) and chronic colon inflammation i.e., ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Many studies suggested the protective effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including mesalazine, on the chemoprevention of colorectal cancer. Studies have shown that the regular intake of mesalazine reduces the risk of developing colorectal polyps and cancer by its multidirectional action. Anti-inflammatory mechanisms include the modulation of inflammatory cytokine production, COX inhibition and impact on NF-κB and PPARδ pathways. Consequently, mesalazine inhibits, or at least delays, the processes of carcinogenesis.
