However, in the stratified analysis by the type of cancer or ethnicity population, NSAID users homozygous for the major allele (TT) in rs5275 demonstrated significantly decreased cancer risk compared with non-NSAID users in cancer type not involving colorectal adenoma (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.59-0.83) and among the USA population (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.56-0.82).
The COX-2 genotypes for 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2745557, rs5277, rs2066826, rs4648261, rs4648262, rs2206593, and rs5275) were determined in 162 pancreatic cancer patients and 170 control subjects without cancer who were matched for age and sex.
