A recent study has suggested that patients who were diagnosed with colon cancer and were on aspirin recently has shown less advanced tumors during diagnosis compared to those who were not on aspirin.

The study included researching the Swedish cancer directory. Over 80,000 patient’s records were studied who were diagnosed with lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.
But it should be noted that researchers has also advised that it doesn’t mean that everyone who are diagnosed with cancer or at risk of diagnosis should be taking aspirin.
It has been reported in the past and it is among the serious side effects of aspirin overdose that regular and heavy usage of aspirin can result in gastro-intestinal bleeding which can result in serious complications, including death.
However, the researchers has also agreed that there is no proven or exact mechanism known for the relation of aspirin and cancer and further research to understand the relation is needed.
