A new study has revealed that people who take aspirin every day may be less likely to develop fatal colon cancer, according to the British Daily Mail.
The research team in Italy analyzed tissue samples from 238 colon cancer patients diagnosed with the disease between 2015 and 2019.
12% (or 29 people) were found to be long-term aspirin users.
The study revealed that people who took daily aspirin had higher levels of CD80, a protein associated with high immune cell activity.
They were also found to have fewer cancer cells around the lymph nodes (small bean-shaped structures that are part of the body’s immune system) and a greater number of immune cells circulating within the tumors.
The researchers explained that the common pain medication “charges” immune cells in the digestive system, which help stop the proliferation and spread of cancer cells.
“These observations indicate an immune-enhancing effect of aspirin in the colon,” they said.
Other studies have linked aspirin use to a reduced risk of colon cancer by up to 40%.
But researchers do not recommend using the drug, which does not require a prescription, as a preventive measure, because it can lead to stomach ulcers, internal bleeding and even strokes.
Dr. Mona Rezapour, a gastroenterologist at the University of California, said in response to previous research: “We know that aspirin reduces the risk of colon cancer, but we do not recommend it to the general public yet, because the benefits are not overwhelming.” risks for everyone.”
