Aspirin helps prevent bowel cancer

Aspirin may help prevent bowel cancer. It was a retrospective study five years ago by Malcom Dunlop, Edinburgh University, England, when comparing the habits of 2,800 people with cancer and 3,000 people without the disease.

The team found that the risk of cancer in people taking 75 milligrams a day decreased by 25 percent compared to those who did not take aspirin.

If the British used aspirin in 2007, the average consumption was slightly higher last year and the level of cancer was reduced by 16 per 100,000 people.

The concentration of aspirin, which reduces the risk of cancer in the conclusions of Malcom Dunlop is much smaller than previous studies.

Andrew Chan, Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA) does not believe it. ' I think low doses cannot be as effective as high doses ,' Chan said. Based on his 20-year follow-up process of 80,000 women and 50,000 men, he still believes that a daily dose of 325 milligrams is best to prevent bowel cancer.
