Inhibition of non-neuronal alpha7-nicotinic receptor reduces tumorigenicity in A549 NSCLC xenografts.

29 Jun 2009 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are expressed on bronchial epithelial and non-small cell lung cancer cells and are involved in cell growth regulation. Nicotine (classical nAChR agonist) induced cell proliferation, whereas nAChR ... Read more...

Flavonoids intake and risk of lung cancer: a meta-analysis.

5 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: A number of studies have evaluated the association between flavonoids intake and lung cancer risk. However, results were inconsistent. To clarify the role of flavonoids in lung cancer, we conducted a meta-analysis on this topic. METHODS: ... Read more...

Association of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with lung cancer: results from a large cohort study.

15 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Smoking cessation is crucial to decrease risk, but additional prevention modalities are needed. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) may be promising. ... Read more...
