Long term aspirin use tied to lower colon cancer risk
Low-dose aspirin, even if not taken daily, may reduce a woman’s risk of colon cancer over the long term, according to a new study that did not find the same effect for other types of cancer. The study published in Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that women who took 100 mg of aspirin every other day for at least 10 years ended up with about a 20% lower risk of colon cancer after some 18 years of follow up, compared to women who took a placebo.
