According to the scientists of the British Research Oncological Center of Epidemiology of Queen Maria London University the use of the aspirin before the critical age (40 years) when the cancer appears commonly may potentially prevent the disease at all.

Aspirin blocks the action of the proteins that are commonly increased in certain cancer types and that may cause the inflammation. The previously held researches showed that those people used this medication were seldom reported to have bowel, breast cancer as well as several other types of this disease. Nevertheless the doctors warn us by saying that the regular use of this medication is quite dangerous with its side effects. For instance it may cause internal and brain micro bleedings. The common cancer types (prostate gland, breast, lungs and bowel cancer) are more often met in those patients over the 60 years and this age is quite dangerous as it is most appropriate for the development of the micro bleedings in the brain due to the aspirin intake. Precancerous affections of the organs commonly occur since 45 years. Thus this age is the most optimal for the attempt to stop the disease development with the help of the aspirin and avoid side effects that are almost inevitable in case of using the medication 15-20 years later. Here we should remind that the experts of the US National Institute reported about the protective features of the aspirin in the February already. Due to their thoughts the regular aspirin use is able to decrease the risk of the stomach cancer development by 40%. However the medication is useless in protecting the person against the larynx, esophagus, and forestomach cancer.
