摘要
Observational and some randomized clinical trials suggest that aspirin protects from occurrence and progression of colorectal neoplasias (adenomas, carcinomas). However, there are still open questions, regarding the benefit/risk ratio (bleedings) as well as dosage and duration of treatment during the probably long-term medication, before stringent recommendations regarding clinical use of aspirin can be made. Specifically, there is currently no generally accepted mode of action or molecular target of aspirin, though a relationship to tumor-associated enhanced PGE(2) levels in the affected mucosa is likely. Regular daily intake of aspirin in antiplatelet doses of 100 mg appears to be sufficient in responding persons. If this is confirmed in prospective randomized trials that are currently underway, this might add to the prophylactic use of aspirin and would suggest a pharmacological relationship to inhibition of COX-1 mediated prostaglandin/thromboxane biosynthesis as a common primary target for both cardiocoronary and antineoplastic prophylaxis. Prophylactic aspirin use might then add to an undoubtedly important healthy lifestyle including appropriate diet.
