Aspirin A Day May Cut Breast Cancer Risk

Scientists have some research backing it:

Researchers indicate that women taking aspirin every day will cut their risk of developing breast cancer. In their analysis of 21 studies, the non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the class of common painkiller which also includes ibuprofen, could ward off the disease.

They concluded that it could also be beneficial to those already diagnosed with breast cancer. Ian Fentiman, a professor of oncology at Guy’s and St Thomas‘ hospital trust in London, who carried out the study, said: “Our review of research published over the last 27 years suggests that, in addition to possible prevention, there may also be a role for NSAIDs in the treatment of women with established breast cancer.”

  1. 1 Breast Cancer The Cure Mar 25th, 2008 at 9:41 am

    There is no known cure for breast cancer. More than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide. Scientists don’t know why most women get breast cancer, yet breast cancer is the most frequent tumor found in women the world over. A woman who dies of breast cancer is robbed of an average of nearly 20 years of her life. Breast cancer knows no social boundaries. It�s a disease that can affect anyone. Some prominent women who�s lives that have been touched by breast cancer include Jill Eikenberry actress age 52; Peggy Fleming age 49 figure skater; Kate Jackson age 50 (Charlies Angels); Olivia Newton-John age 50 actress singer; Nancy Reagan age 77 former first lady; Melissa Etheridge age 43 singer; and the beautiful Suzanne Summers actress. These high rates of breast cancer are not acceptable to the women of the world and must be met with scientific research that provides results.
