Aspirin and Cancer Prevention: What the Research Really Shows
By Elizabeth MendesFebruary 14, 2014
Taking aspirin daily may cut a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer by 20%, according to a study published February 6, 2014 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. This new research adds to the large number of studies conducted in recent years showing aspirin may help prevent certain types of cancers.
Other studies have found that regular aspirin use may help prevent colorectal, esophageal, stomach, prostate, and breast cancers, as well as certain types of skin cancers – and it also may keep cancer from spreading once it has been diagnosed.
Although much research on the topic has been done, the evidence still isn’t clear enough to show that the potential benefits of regular aspirin use with respect to cancer prevention outweigh the possible harmful side effects. Regular aspirin use can cause serious health problems such as internal bleeding, which is why no public health organization, including the American Cancer Society, currently recommends taking aspirin solely to reduce cancer risk.
