Aspirin may prevent cancer metastasis by boosting immune response

Guest · 2025-03-09T09:02:57Z

Around half of all people will have a cancer diagnosis at some stage in their life, most commonly in their later years. Cancer that is confined to its original location is easiest to treat, but cancer cells can break off and spread to other parts of the body. Scientists studying how cancers spread have found that aspirin may help prevent metastases, or secondary tumors, by boosting the body’s immune response. In their mouse study, aspirin helped immune cells to destroy spreading cancer cells. Research is underway in people to investigate whether aspirin, or drugs that target the same pathway, could be used to help stop or delay the return of cancers.
