The September 12 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine have a study that showed that long-term use of non aspirin anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are linked to an increased risk of kidney cancer, or renal cell cancer. The data was gathered from the Nurses' Health Study (77,525 nurses followed up to 16 years) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (49,403 men followed for 20 years). The study also suggests that the longer one uses these NSAIDs, the higher the risk. These drugs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.), naproxen, cox-2 inhibitors, etc.
