Aspirin a Day ‘may lower risk of breast cancer’
Daily dose of Aspirin may protect women against breast cancer, a landmark study suggests. The study found that those taking Aspirin painkillers had a 12 per cent lower risk of breast cancer during their lifetime than the general population. This research was carried out by the University of British Columbia, the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and the University of Santiago de Compostela. In US alone nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

Breast Cancer May Be Reduced By Aspirin
According to the journal Breast Cancer Research by BioMed Central, taking aspirin on a daily basis may lower the risk of a particular type of breast cancer in women. The breast cancers are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+). Estrogen helps the cancer cells grow, so drugs that block the action of estrogen are often used to treat ER+ cancer. In this particular study, aspirin use was linked to a small reduction in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers.
