Disclosed are methods of decreasing proliferation of adenocarcinoma cancer cells, or of inducing apoptosis of adenocarcinoma cancer cells, or of inducing differentiation of adenocarcinoma cancer cells into non-cancerous cells. One such method includes contacting the adenocarcinoma cancer cells with a compound under conditions effective for the compound to inhibit binding of leukotriene B4 to leukotriene B4 receptor. In another such method, the method includes contacting the adenocarcinoma cancer cells with 2-(2-propyl-3-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenoxy)benzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or congener thereof. Also disclosed are methods of treating adenocarcinomas in a subject. One method includes administering to the subject an amount of a compound effective to inhibit binding of leukotriene B4 to leukotriene B4 receptor. Another method includes administering 2-(2-propyl-3-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluoropheyl)-5-hydroxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenoxy)benzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or congener thereof, to the subject.
