Piroxicam inhibited induction of transitional cell carcinoma in mouse urinary bladder by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine. At 15 mg piroxicam/kg diet, tumor incidence was reduced 82% (P < 0.0001) compared with carcinogen controls. At 30 mg piroxicam/kg diet, tumor incidence was reduced 70% (P < 0.001). Results at the higher dose level suggested that piroxicam also may have inhibited invasion slightly. Combination treatment with 2-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or all-trans-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retin-amide (4-HPR) or both agents did not improve the chemopreventive potential of piroxicam. However, the three-agent combination of 30 mg piroxicam/kg, 1200 mg DFMO/kg and 313 mg 4-HPR/kg diet was highly effective. Tumor incidence was reduced 91% (P < 0.0001) compared with carcinogen controls. Unfortunately, the high efficacy was somewhat compromised by a significant decrease in survival and body weight gain in mice receiving the combination of agents compared with the carcinogen control.
