Inflammation is postulated to play an important role in ovarian carcinogenesis. Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) is responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins in response to inflammation. We examined the association of the PTGS2 rs5275 polymorphism with the risk of invasive ovarian carcinoma and the joint effect of rs5275 and use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on risk in a pooled analysis of two population-based studies, the Hawaii Ovarian Cancer Case-Control Study and the New England Case-Control Study, including 1025 women with invasive ovarian carcinoma and 1687 cancer-free controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression. In the pooled analysis, the CC genotype was associated with a reduced risk of nonserous ovarian carcinoma (OR=0.66; CI: 0.44-0.98). In addition, the lowest risk was observed among carriers of the CC genotype who were users of nonaspirin NSAIDs (OR=0.43; CI:0.20-0.93) in all women combined. The association of PTGS2 rs5275 with nonserous ovarian carcinoma and possible effect modification by NSAID use needs further validation, preferably in the prospective studies.Other Sources
