Abstract
Prostanoids are biochemically important molecules with significant roles in pain and inflammatory responses. These responses are studied in several processes of cancer development, including lung cancer. The aim of this article is to review the existing literature on the inflammatory responses in lung cancer mediated by prostanoids. Information regarding different classes of prostanoids, lung cancer and their incidence are discussed. Nonetheless, the review also covers recent information on roles of prostanoids in lung cancer development and its risk factor.
