## Key Findings
- Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that aspirin can help slow the spread of certain cancers, including breast, bowel, and prostate cancers
- The study was published in the journal *Nature*
## How Aspirin Works Against Cancer
- Aspirin blocks thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a chemical produced by blood platelets
- TXA2 normally weakens T cells, which are crucial for fighting cancer
- By inhibiting TXA2, aspirin "unleashes" T cells to more effectively target and destroy cancer cells
## Supporting Evidence
- Previous studies showed regular aspirin use was linked to:
- 31% reduction in cancer-specific mortality in breast cancer patients
- 9% decrease in recurrence/metastasis risk
- 25% reduction in colon cancer risk
## Potential Impact
- Aspirin could be particularly effective in early stages of cancer
- It may help prevent metastasis, which causes 90% of cancer fatalities
- As an inexpensive treatment, it could be more accessible globally than antibody-based therapies
## Cautions
- Experts warn against self-medicating with aspirin
- Potential risks include internal bleeding and stomach ulcers
- Patients should consult doctors before starting aspirin therapy
## Next Steps
- Large-scale clinical trials to determine which cancer types and patients would benefit most
- Development of new drugs that mimic aspirin's benefits without side effects
