Could Aspirin Cure Cancer?
Fresh evidence has suggested that taking small doses of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer. Three new studies have been published in medical journal The Lancet and add to mounting evidence of the drug’s anti-cancer effects. Experts are warning though that there is still not enough proof to recommend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths and warn that the drug can cause dangerous side effects like stomach bleeds. Previous studies carried out by Oxford Universities Prof Peter Rothwell and colleagues had suggested people needed to be taking the drug for about 10 years to get any protection. However the same experts now think the protective effects could occur sooner; within three to five years.
