Yahoo! News - Study: Aspirin May Cut Breast Cancer Risk
CHICAGO - An effective weapon against many women's most feared disease might be as close as their medicine cabinets, according to new research linking aspirin with a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Women who frequently used aspirin were less likely than nonusers to get the most common type of breast cancer, but faced no reduced risk for developing another form of the disease — a distinction the researchers said may explain why previous studies had conflicting results.

Similar studies have suggested that aspirin might reduce the risks of developing other kinds of cancer, including cancer of the pancreas, cancer of the ovaries, and Hodgkin's disease.

But these studies could not say definitively whether other factors might explain the results. And like the new breast cancer research, many of these studies relied on people's recollections of how often they took aspirin.

With all the benefits related to taking aspirin, I wonder if I should start taking one a day along with my vitamin.
