Understand the relationship between aspirin and cancer prevention

Data from the last International Union Against Cancer Conference (UICC) report that at least 1/3 of the neoplasms would be preventable. Simple measures such as changing lifestyles, controlling obesity, reducing alcohol consumption, smoking and exposure to toxic substances, as well as vaccination against HPV and hepatitis, could have a significant impact on reducing the number of

Surgical prevention can be applied in a few cases, and there is solid pharmacological prevention data for breast cancer alone.

Aspirin, the trade name for acetylsalicylic acid, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that acts by blocking a group of enzymes called cyclooxygenases. The substances in this group have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties (treat fever).

In the evolution of intestinal polyps there is interference of cyclooxygenase 2 in the process. In this way, it was thought that the use of anti-inflammatories could reduce the formation of polyps. In fact, this was proven, but in the clinical study, the same magnitude of benefit in preventing polyps was counterbalanced by cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

From this point on, the attempt was made to replace acetylsalicylic acid with second generation drugs, specific for inhibit Cox-2, as was the case with Viox.

In this way, no anti-inflammatory drugs are indicated for use as cancer prevention.

Chronic use of anti-inflammatories is very problematic. It causes gastric ulcers and gastric ulcers, changes in blood coagulation (prevent the action of platelets) and changes in renal function.

We used chronic anti-inflammatory drugs for some rheumatologic diseases (arthritis) and as a way of reducing the risk of thromboembolic phenomena and coronary ischemic disease in patients at risk.

To date, there is no evidence that any of these two groups benefit from greater protection from cancer.
