A new study has stated that giving aspirin to certain category of colon cancer survivors may help the patient in living longer.
Explosive Anger may Have a Cure in Aspirin
Those with a bad temper and who need to control their anger could find a cure in Aspirin researchers said.

Thus, the study said that the benefit of taking aspirin was seen in patients whose tumours made HLA class I antigen protein. This antigen may be playing a role in the immune system's response to cancer cells, the researchers said, adding that further research was required.
“If our results are confirmed by others and aspirin is studied as a treatment in a proper phase three randomised trial, then we would have a valid new anti-cancer treatment that is both safe and cheap,” said study author Gerrit Jan Liefers of Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
Eat Fish: Cut Colon Cancer Risk
Risk of colon cancer can be reduced by eating fish and seafood, containing primarily, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, says a new study.

As part of the study, researchers analysed tissue from tumours from 999 colon cancer patients who had been operated upon between 2002 and 2008. Out of these 999, 182 used aspirin and 69 of these died by January 2012. And out of 817 patients who didn't take aspirin, 396 died.

Scientists Discover Cell Mechanism That Makes It Possible To Design Anti-Cancer Treatments
Scientists at Harvard Medical School have found that very dissimilar reactions take place even in genetically similar cells. This could be significant for cancer treatment.
