Aspirin cuts pancreatic cancer risk

[kiran]

"In a five-year study, published online in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, researchers compared aspirin use in 362 pancreatic cancer patients with 690 randomly chosen controls. Participants were asked about past and present regular use of aspirin, defined as at least once a week for three months.

After controlling for age, sex, race, smoking, diabetes and other variables, the researchers found that regular aspirin use lowered the risk for pancreatic cancer by 48 percent."
