Celecoxib and curcumin synergistically inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells.(Abstracts)(Brief Article)

Alternative Medicine Review | December 1, 2005| | Copyright

PURPOSE: Multiple studies have indicated that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors may prevent colon cancer, which is one of the leading causes of cancer death in the western world.
