Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that aspirin may help prevent cancer from spreading by enhancing immune response. In studies conducted on animals, aspirin appears to interfere with platelets that inhibit T-cells—white blood cells crucial for targeting metastatic cancer. While earlier findings linked regular aspirin usage to improved cancer survival, the drug's potential for cancer treatment has yet to be fully verified through trials. Aspirin could become a supplemental treatment post-surgery for early-detected cancers, but patients should not self-prescribe the medication at this stage.
"What we've discovered is that aspirin might work, surprisingly, by unleashing the power of the immune system to recognize and kill metastasizing cancer cells."
"This exciting and surprise discovery could eventually lead to cancer patients being prescribed the drug - but not yet and people are advised against just taking the pills themselves."
