we have known for decades the benefits of daily ASA in prevention of coronary artery disease by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Now comes some promising evidence that daily ASA might prevent colon cancer as well as prevent spread of certain types of cancer
Thanks Steve. I've been taking daily ASA for the last couple of years. I need to live longer so that I'll have more chance to enjoy my music and discover more.
^ Interesting Steve, I've been taking an aspirin a day for quite awhile now. Been working quite well for me in that regard, knock on wood, and it could be a double whammy!!
well there is no question that other factors need to be considered such as hypertension or vascular disease because having a stroke while on aspirin could be a big deal

It'll be interesting if any of the other cox-2 type blockers have the same activity. I remember seeing something a while back that alleve/naproxen had the same cardioprotective effects as aspirin too. I don't think it's true for the others like Motrin/Ibuprofen.
That's why the group at CCNY developed their aspirin analogs to avoid those side effects yet maintain the activity of the parent compound. Great chemistry!
we have had this discussion before. In life one must always weigh the benefits vs risks in deciding to take any medication . For me both as a physician knowing what I know and also as a patient taking 81 mg/day, I choose to take ASA but "that's just me"
