Discovery of molecular pathways critical to carcinogenesis is revolutionizing the treatment and prevention of cancer. This review discusses recent advances in colorectal cancer chemoprevention and the development of novel anti-inflammatory agents that target signaling pathways important in tumor formation and metastasis, such as those involving cyclooxygenase (COX1 and COX2) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
