Aspirin can help prevent return of breast cancer

While consuming too much aspirin has often been linked with various health risks, a recent study has concluded that taking aspirin may actually have some significant health benefits. According to a recent research study completed by researchers from Harvard University, those women who already have breast cancer could benefit by taking aspirin. The study’s results revealed that those women with breast cancer had a 50 percent lower risk of dying from breast cancer than those women who did not take aspirin.

The study also found that women who already had breast cancer had a 50 percent lower risk of the cancer spreading to other areas of the body. While this research is still new and has to be further analyzed, the researchers have theorized that their results could be due to the fact that aspirin helps the body by reducing inflammation and that this process could also prevent blood flow to the cancer, which may help stop the cancerous cells from traveling throughout the body.

The study followed approximately 4,000 women. While the researchers from Harvard thought that their results are extremely favorable, they did warm that there is still a lot of research to be done and that the new results are not yet a reason for women to start taking aspirin regularly.
