Live imaging of the interactions between oncogene-transformed cells and leukocytes in zebrafish reveals that PGE(2) promotes the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, like aspirin, are the effective inhibitors of PGE(2) production and could be used with other anti-tumor agents in the treatment of cancer.
