According
to scientists, a daily dose of aspirin should be given to people at
high risk of bowel cancer, such as patients with Lynch Syndrome.
Indeed, aspirin is thought to enable one to fight cancer of the bowel
and even repair damaged DNA... Thus, according to a study, two pills a
day for two years has reduced bowel cancer by 63% in a group of 861
patients suffering from Lynch Syndrome. Nevertheless,
it is too early to recommend daily aspirin for those at lower risk.
A vaccine against cancer
has yet to be found, but science has discovered new means of limiting
the risks of cancer. It is amazing to discover how such a simple
thing as aspirin, taken daily, can save people with genetically high
risks of the disease...
