Indomethacin and ascorbate inhibit desmoid tumors.

Waddell WR, Gerner RE.

Administration of indomethacin caused complete resolution of a desmoid tumor after a partial response to

radiation. In another patient, this drug caused an immediate response, then became ineffective. When large

doses of ascorbic acid were given with indomethacin, slow resolution of the tumor began and has continued for

14 months. Treatment of a third case with indomethacin and ascorbic acid from the beginning produced

shrinkage of the tumor which has continued to date.
