Details
- Low-dose aspirin doesn't seem to help prevent cancer in women.
- A major study involving nearly 40-thousand healthy women found no cancer risk reduction from taking low-dose aspirin.
- Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that aspirin had no observed effect on total cancer, breast cancer or colorectal cancer.
- Lead researcher Nancy Cook says there was a 22% reduction of lung cancer risk, but that the findings were inconclusive and more research is needed.
- Meanwhile, a separate study found that men who took aspirin over five years slightly lowered their risk for prostate cancer.
- The results won't help settle the debate over whether anti-inflammatory medicines could be used to prevent cancer.
- The women's study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
- The men's study is in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
