Overall, the risk of developing colorectal cancer over a 10-year period was 1.98% among participants who used aspirin regularly, compared with 2.95% for people who didn’t use aspirin regularly.
In contrast, those with a healthier lifestyle had a lower baseline risk of colorectal cancer, and therefore, their benefit from aspirin was still evident, but less pronounced. This fits with our ...
Aspirin helps prevent blood clots from forming, which is the leading cause of heart attack and stroke, but the drug also carries a risk of bleeding. That risk can outweigh aspirin’s benefits in ...
Advertisement for a healthy diet to possibly reduce cancer risk. An average 35% of human cancer mortality is attributed to the diet of the individual. [9] Studies have linked excessive consumption of red or processed meat to an increased risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer, a phenomenon which could be due to the presence of carcinogens in meats cooked at high temperatures.
Aspirin may reduce the overall risk of both getting cancer and dying from cancer. [128] There is substantial evidence for lowering the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), [90] [129] [130] [131] but aspirin must be taken for at least 10–20 years to see this benefit. [132] It may also slightly reduce the risk of endometrial cancer [133] and ...
[154] [155] One 2014 review found that supplements had no significant effect on cancer risk. [155] Another 2014 review concluded that vitamin D 3 may decrease the risk of death from cancer (one fewer death in 150 people treated over 5 years), but concerns with the quality of the data were noted.

According to new research, taking aspirin on a regular basis may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer—especially for people with less-healthy lifestyles.
Several types of cancer are associated with high survival rates, including breast, prostate, testicular and colon cancer. Brain and pancreatic cancers have much lower median survival rates which have not improved as dramatically over the last forty years. [4] Indeed, pancreatic cancer has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers.
