“…The cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitor, celecoxib, taken for 9 months can reduce the number of BCCs and SCCs over an 11‐month period, but does not appear to alter the number of AKs . Overall, it may have a role in high‐risk patients with multiple NMSCs, but it does not have evidence of a role for AK …”

“…Selective inhibitors of COX-2 depress prostacyclin (PGI 2 ), an atheroprotective agent, but not COX-1-derived thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2 ), a proaggregatory and vasoconstrictor mediator, which might predispose patients to heart attack and stroke [4]. In 2004, Rofecoxib, (4-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-2(5H)-furanone), marketed as Vioxx was withdrawn from the market due to increased risk for cardiovascular thrombotic events in a long term-therapy [5].…”

“…Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs in pain management, representing a structurally diverse group of substances with anti‐inflammatory and analgesic properties . NSAIDs have been assigned a potential role in the chemoprevention of various malignancies including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which are collectively referred to as nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) . Although the precise mechanism of anti‐tumorigenic activity is unknown, the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and the subsequent decrease in prostaglandin synthesis is thought to be of key importance.…”
