Aspirin Could Prevent Breast Cancer Risk
The review, carried out over 21 studies published between 1980 and 2007 that involved 37,000 women, was conducted by researchers at London’s Guy’s Hospital, who stated that based on the results, there may also be a role for NSAIDs in the treatment of women with established breast cancer.
“Our review of research published over the last 27 years suggests that, in addition to possible prevention, there may also be a role for NSAIDs in the treatment of women with established breast cancer” says Professor Ian Fentiman from the Hedley Atkins Breast Unit at the hospital, part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
“NSAID use could be combined with hormone therapy or used to relieve symptoms in the commonest cause of cancer-related deaths in women,” he added.
Professor Fentiman and his colleague Mr Avi Agrawal’s review included 11 studies of women with breast cancer and 10 studies that compared women with and without the disease.
“Having weighed up the findings from over 20 studies, we have concluded that NSAIDs may well offer significant protection against developing breast cancer in the first place and may provide a useful addition to the treatment currently available to women who already have the disease,” said Prof. Fentiman.
