Analgesic drugs don't reduce ovarian cancer risk

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The regular use of over-the-counter analgesic drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, does not appear to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, according to findings published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

It has been suggested that inflammation may be involved in the development of ovarian cancer, "possibly acting in concert with ovulation," Dr. Mary Anne Rossing, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, and colleagues write. Drugs with anti-inflammatory effects, such as aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), have been suggested as possible treatment to prevent the development of ovarian cancer.
