We have shown that 'cyclooxygenase COX 1 & 2--the substances that are inhibited by aspirin] are amplified in human breast tumors...and that inhibition of both COX 'types] blocked development & induced regression of 'animal] mammary tumors, induced 'cell death in tumors] and inhibited 'growth of new blood supplies to the tumor.]
