A recent US. study has found regular taking of Aspirin is linked to increased survival after Breast Cancer operations, adding a lower risk of recurring.
Dr.Michelle Holmes, Brigham and Woman's hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, said this was the first study to find Aspirin can significantly reduce risk of cancer spread and death, for women who have been treated for early stages of the disease.
Previous studies in animals and lab cultures have suggested Aspirin may reduce risk of breast cancer.
Dr.Holmes confirmed women living at least one year after breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, Aspirin was associated with a decreased risk of recurrence and breast cancer death.
The Doctor also stressed it was important to see if these findings are replicated in other studies before giving advice to women on whether they should be taking Aspirin after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Acknowledge: medicalnewstoday.com Geoff.
