First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looked at whether two anti-inflammatory drugs—fish oil and celecoxib (a COX-2 inhibitor)—can reduce inflammation and slow tumor growth in pregnancy-associated breast cancer. 42 women with breast cancer took one of these drugs for at least a week before their planned surgery. Researchers measured changes in a tumor growth marker (Ki-67) to gather early data for designing larger future studies.
