Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical that is involved in carcinogenesis. Recent literature
indicates that endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) can modulate cancer-related events
(angiogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasion, and metastasis). We review the literature
linking eNOS to carcinogenesis to encourage future research assessing the role of eNOS in
cancer prevention and treatment.[Cancer Res 2007; 67 (4): 1407–10]
