Scientists from the School of Medicine at Stanford University in Palo Alto, shared the results of his 12-year study in the journal CANCER American Cancer Society. Doctors have found that women who took a large amount of aspirin were less susceptible to melanoma.
Previously, scientists from Denmark also stated that patients taking aspirin and other nonsteroidal painkillers - 15-20% reduces the risk of this type of skin cancer like basal cell carcinoma. At this time, a team of scientists under the leadership of Jean Tang was able to verify the effectiveness of aspirin against other skin cancer - melanoma. And the experts took into account other risk factors for skin cancer, such as the use of tanning and sunscreen.
How do I find Dr. Jean Tang and her colleagues, women often take aspirin were more reserved in front of melanoma. The risk of skin cancer in these women turned out to be 21% lower compared to those women who did not take aspirin. Analysis of indicators of the health of patients who regularly use aspirin five years or more, showed an even more significant difference - these ladies 30% less likely to fall ill with melanoma. The study involved almost 60,000 white-skinned women between 50 and 79 years, who answered questions about what medications they take, what their diet and what their occupation.
Scientists believe that anti-cancer effect of aspirin is associated with its anti-inflammatory properties. According to Dr. Tan. other painkillers did not affect the reduction in the risk of melanoma. However, the researchers did not rush to recommend taking aspirin for prevention. To this end, additional clinical trials are needed, they said. (READ MORE)
