Aspirin may help prevent cancer metastasis, research finds

A new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that aspirin may help prevent cancer from spreading, known as metastasis. This finding builds on earlier research linking aspirin use to improved cancer survival rates. The study indicates that aspirin disrupts platelets, which normally protect cancer cells, allowing the immune system to better target and destroy these cells. However, experts caution that aspirin is not a cure and can have serious side effects, such as internal bleeding. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in humans. Ongoing clinical trials will involve over 10,000 patients to explore aspirin's potential in preventing cancer recurrence.
