Send an aspirin down your system, everyday and you keep cancer at bay, say Brit researchers.

A new research has suggested that aspirin in cancer treatment can cut death rate.

Brit researchers come up that death due to cancer can be combated with aspirin. It is supposed to cut down overall death rates by one third in five years of use. Longer the period of using aspirin, better the the protection from cancer. It was about 50 percent for some users.

In the view of experts, that aspirin worked well with healthy people of middle age healthy middle-age around 45 to 50 years who are accustomed to the use of low doses of aspirin for over 20-30 years were the most benefited, as cancer seems to show up with age.

It even helps to keep away heart attacks and strokes in people who have not been diagonised with cardiovascular problems, with a dosage of 75mg, which is a quarter of a standard 300mg tablet.

The research also revealed the relieving fact that death rate fell by 34 percent for all cancer types and by 54 percent for gastrointestinal cancers. The rick of cancer is curbed by 20 percent in groups alanysed for all solid cancers and 35 percent lower for gastrointestinal cancers.

Positive results started emerging after 5years in cancer like Oesophageal (gullet), pancreatic, brain and some forms of lung cancer. However it took about 10 years for results to emerge in stomach and colorectal cancer and 15 years for prostate cancer.

The latest research headed by Peter Rothwell, of the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, who headed the is convinced the basic rules have changed.

"These findings provide the first proof in man that aspirin reduces deaths due to several common cancers," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

"Previous guidelines have rightly cautioned that in healthy middle-aged people the small risk of bleeding on aspirin partly offsets the benefits from prevention of strokes and heart attacks, but the reductions in deaths due to several common cancers will now alter this balance for many people," he said.
