Hello friends,
Found this interesting article.
Women who regularly use aspirin developed fewer cancers than women who did not, according to a study by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Regular aspirin use was associated with lower cancer incidence and cancer mortality, but non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use was not, according to findings presented at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Los Angeles.
Among 22,507 cancer-free postmenopausal women who participated in the Iowa Women's Health Study and provided information on aspirin and NSAID use, those who said they regularly used aspirin had a 16-percent reduced risk of developing cancer more than a decade later.
In addition, they had a 13-percent reduced risk of dying from cancer over this same time period, compared with women who did not use aspirin, according to lead author Dr. Aditya Bardia.
