Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung
The epidemiological evidence for a protective effect of anti-inflammatory drugs against prostatic carcinoma is suggestive but not conclusive. Studies are limited by inadequate information on dose and duration of use and by methodological biases. Furthermore, potential benefits should be weighed against the known side effects of long-term use.
