<p>Oral cancer survival remains poor despite advancement in treatment modalities. In oral cancer and oral premalignant lesions, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is widely expressed and tends to be enhanced especially in high-risk oral lesions. Numerous researches suggests that the inflammation pathway of cyclooxygenase/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) leads to the development and progression of a number of cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). With an emphasis on research data, this article discusses the relationship between inflammation and cancer, summarizes the use of anti-inflammatory agents COX-2 inhibitors for cancer chemoprevention and treatment, and explains the mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of anti-inflammatory agents (COX-2 inhibitors).</p>

Understanding the mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis provides insights that are necessary for the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent cancer. Chemoprevention, the use of drugs or natural substances to inhibit carcinogenesis, is a rapidly evolving aspect of cancer research. Evidence is presented that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are potential pharmacologic targets to prevent cancer. In this paper, we review key data implicating a causal relationship between COX-2, EGFR, and carcinogenesis and possible mechanisms of action. We discuss evidence of crosstalk between COX-2 and EGFR in order to strengthen the rationale for combination chemoprevention, and review plans for a clinical trial that will evaluate the concept of combination chemoprevention targeting COX-2 and EGFR.
