Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although tamoxifen appears to markedly reduce breast cancer risk in women with a prior diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia or in situ carcinoma, it is not clear what other groups of women receive substantial benefit."8.81Beyond tamoxifen new endpoints for breast cancer chemoprevention, new drugs for breast cancer prevention. ( Fabian, CJ; Kimler, BF, 2001)
"Potentially, non-melanoma skin cancer in humans may be prevented with these agents with few adverse effects."5.39Combination chemoprevention with diclofenac, calcipotriol and difluoromethylornithine inhibits development of non-melanoma skin cancer in mice. ( Burcharth, J; Pommergaard, HC; Raskov, H; Rosenberg, J, 2013)
"Although tamoxifen appears to markedly reduce breast cancer risk in women with a prior diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia or in situ carcinoma, it is not clear what other groups of women receive substantial benefit."4.81Beyond tamoxifen new endpoints for breast cancer chemoprevention, new drugs for breast cancer prevention. ( Fabian, CJ; Kimler, BF, 2001)
"Recent clinical cancer chemoprevention trials, using dose de-escalation designs, indicate that DFMO can be given over long periods of time at low doses that suppress polyamine contents in gastrointestinal and other epithelial tissues but cause no detectable hearing loss or other side effects."2.40Development of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) as a chemoprevention agent. ( Gerner, EW; Meyskens, FL, 1999)
"Potentially, non-melanoma skin cancer in humans may be prevented with these agents with few adverse effects."1.39Combination chemoprevention with diclofenac, calcipotriol and difluoromethylornithine inhibits development of non-melanoma skin cancer in mice. ( Burcharth, J; Pommergaard, HC; Raskov, H; Rosenberg, J, 2013)
"Patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) and dysplasia are candidates for chemopreventive strategies to reduce cancer risk."1.37Evaluation of difluoromethylornithine for the chemoprevention of Barrett's esophagus and mucosal dysplasia. ( Broaddus, R; Gerner, E; Half, E; Hong, WK; Joshi, N; Kirsch, I; Lewin, J; Morlan, B; Sinicrope, FA, 2011)
" However, a dose-response reduction in invasive carcinoma growth was observed for both DFMO, an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, and DHEA, the primary steroid precursor to both androgens and estrogens in primates."1.312-difluoromethylornithine and dehydroepiandrosterone inhibit mammary tumor progression but not mammary or prostate tumor initiation in C3(1)/SV40 T/t-antigen transgenic mice. ( Anver, MR; Green, JE; Kelloff, G; Lubet, R; Moon, RC; Shibata, E; Shibata, MA, 2001)
"The dose-response relationship in male F344 rats was determined for the ability of aspirin administered in the diet to prevent azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer and aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and to reduce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels."1.30Prevention by aspirin and its combination with alpha-difluoromethylornithine of azoxymethane-induced tumors, aberrant crypt foci and prostaglandin E2 levels in rat colon.
