Aspirin trial to examine if it can stop cancer returning
By Smitha Mundasad
Health reporter

LONDON: -- The world's largest clinical trial to find out whether aspirin can prevent cancer returning has begun in the UK.

About 11,000 people who have had early bowel, breast, prostate, stomach and oesophageal cancer will be involved.

Uncertainty about the drug's possible anti-cancer qualities has led to fierce medical debate in recent years.

If it is proven to work, scientists say it would be "game-changing", by providing a cheap and effective way to help more patients survive.

During the study, funded by the charity Cancer Research UK and the NIHR - the research arm of the NHS - patients will take a tablet every day for five years.

Definitely worth checking with your doctor if you can take dispersible aspirin

unless those same scumbags buy up all the rights to sell aspirin like they did that other drug recently (sorry can't remember which one) then jack the price up 3000%

On a more serious note, that would be amazing if it works. I have lost many family members to the scourge of cancer. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Good luck with the trials.

No patents on aspirin so no problems. coffee1.gif
