I see a reference to cancer below, I recently started looking into this, it's actually fascination.
There is actually some research being done on non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib or diclofenac for treatment of leukemia.
Since Leukemia is actually related to an increase of white blood cells which are produced in response to inflammation/infection I was curious if there's any relationship and immediately found articles such as the following one:
"Celecoxib suppresses autophagy and enhances cytotoxicity of imatinib in imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cells"
There's also a bunch of initial research on herbal medicinal herbs and their effect on certain cancer cells. And a lot of them actually were used for their anti-inflammatory properties.
(Personal matter related to a case I have in the family)
It is important to look at the overall body of research available on the matter.
What you have linked has no placebo-arm to compare to. In addition, only cells from 6 patients were tested. Furthermore, this is for extremely resistant CML patients who do not respond to imatinib (first line treatment).
However, the introduction of second generation TKI inhibitors is now the standard of care in imatinib resistant CML patients.
I haven’t referenced any particular pubmed entries since there are 6 or 7 second gen TKI’s, however, this reference by the American cancer society gives a good summary of available options.
