Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of oral cancer: a cohort study

Epidemiologic data regarding the chemopreventive potential of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) against oral cancer are sparse. We found a relative risk for oral cancer of 1.2 (95% CI, 1.0–1.6) among 169 589 Danish NSAID users (⩾2 prescriptions), with no apparent trends in subgroups. Our study provided no clear evidence that NSAIDs may protect against oral cancer.
