"The effects of the addition of indomethacin 'an aspirin spin-off, or NSAID, but more powerful. It requires a prescription,] to 'stimulated lymph cells] from patients with untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck or from patients with the disease who have just finished irradiation therapy from the disease was 'evaluated.] These were compared to those of the control group 'those not given indomethacin.] Lymphocytes 'body defensive cells] from eight of 26 patients with untreated carcinoma were significantly augmented by the addition of indomethacin. 'Their defense against the carcinoma was strengthened.] The remaining eighteen patients were equal to the controls 'no benefit.]

"For all 17 patients who had just finished extensive field irradiation therapy, significant enhancement of stimulation by indomethacin was found... 'There was more, also highly technical data presented.]
