Following up on the COX-2 inhibitor issue, I met last week with an oncologist to talk specifically about chemoprevention. He said that Celebrex was the preferred COX-2 inhibitor because it specifically targets COX-2 while most of the other NSAIDs target all of the COX enzymes indiscriminately. For what it's worth. - Sheldon
