Daily Low-Dose Aspirin Linked to Reduced Risk of Certain Cancers - US News


Read the full article: Daily Low-Dose Aspirin Linked to Reduced Risk of Certain Cancers - US News:

"Taking low-dose aspirin every day may lower the overall risk of cancer by 3 percent, mostly because of larger reductions that were seen in the risk for colon and gastrointestinal tumors, researchers are reporting.

Aspirin May Help Prevent Certain Kinds of Cancer (video)

This is a nice interview and discussion triggered by the latest published findings in the medical journal, Lancet.

The findings strike a chord with me because about 20 years ago, I started taking a baby aspirin every day. Back then there was sparse information available, and I started in hopes of preventing gastrointestinal cancers that my parents succumbed to.

I was happy to hear about the latest findings suggesting that Aspirin May Reduce Risk of Colon Cancer (Video).

Both my parents had gastrointestinal cancers, so for the last 15 years or so, I've been taking a baby aspirin everyday, based on my sense that there was some suggestive evidence that it could be protective.

Here's to aspirin and colon health!

I've been following the news about the possible beneficial effects of aspirin (ASA) in preventing colon cancer for a number of years now. Now I'm really excited about the news in this ABC News video, "Fight Cancer With Aspirin." In summary, "Taking aspirin regularly may increase survival rate for those with colon cancer."
