Study finds aspirin could prevent some cancers from spreading

Scientists at the University of Cambridge discovered that aspirin can enhance the immune system's ability to combat cancer spreading, a finding described as a 'Eureka moment' by Dr. Jie Yang.
The study revealed that aspirin reduces the influence of platelets on T-cells, allowing them to better target and destroy metastasizing cancer cells.
Prof. Mangesh Thorat advises cancer patients to consider trials for aspirin rather than self-medicating, highlighting the potential side effects.
Researchers aim to develop more effective cancer treatments based on aspirin's mechanism, which could offer accessible options for patients compared to traditional antibody therapies.
