In a significant development, researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that aspirin may help prevent the spread of certain cancers by inhibiting metastasis. This breakthrough suggests that aspirin could enhance the immune system's capability to identify and eliminate cancer cells, potentially offering an affordable treatment option. Dr Jie Yang described the findings as a "Eureka moment," highlighting their importance in understanding aspirin's anti-metastatic properties. Professor Rahul Roychoudhuri noted that aspirin could be particularly effective for early-stage cancers, possibly used alongside traditional treatments. However, experts caution against self-medication, urging patients to consider participation in clinical trials instead. Despite the promising results, there are risks associated with aspirin, such as internal bleeding, and it remains unclear whether its benefits apply to all cancer types. Ongoing research is essential to determine its safety and efficacy for broader patient use.
