Head and neck cancer and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

The objective was to assess the effects of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on head and neck cancer (HNC) outcomes. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register databases were searched. Risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration's tool and by the Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale. Meta‐analyses were performed with the RevMan software. Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria. Quality scores for observational studies ranged between 5 and 8 stars and the RCT was assessed as high risk of bias. NSAIDs use was associated with a 13% risk reduction of HNC (OR: 0.87 95% CI 0.77–0.99). NSAIDs use was associated with a 30% reduced cancer‐specific mortality and with a 40% decreased risk on disease‐recurrence. NSAIDs may have a modest protective effect on HNC risk and a positive impact on cancer‐specific survival and disease‐recurrence. The findings do not support a protective role of as pirin on HNC outcomes.
