Drama dean Hugh Lee on July 2 morning died due to colorectal cancer, in addition to dismay he still lost to the disease cancer for many years, doing nothing to leave his love of the stage and in life, how to prevent colorectal cancer once again become a topic of concern to everyone.And a recent study found that aspirin can prevent colorectal cancer, this cheap and old drugs might be able to once again become our savior.
Aspirin is one of the drugs used most humans worldwide each year, 40,000 tonnes of humanity is to eat a heavy aspirin, which in addition to fever, inflammation, pain outside, but also the anti-clotting agent, helping many heart patients to avoid relapse, in addition to aspirin there are many benefits, including the prevention of many cancers, such as melanoma, liver cancer, or even reduce cancer mortality.
Currently the world's first cancer is colorectal cancer killer in the United States, there are 14.2 million people diagnosed each year colorectal cancer, about 51,000 Americans died due to colorectal cancer in Taiwan, although colorectal cancer mortality is still lagging behind liver cancer and lung cancer, but it is hard to catch up, since 2006, colorectal cancer is the number of the first occurrence of cancer in Taiwan, the future it will also be the enemy of the people of Taiwan health.
Aspirin and colorectal cancer study was conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital (Massachusetts General Hospital) hepatobiliary gastroenterology physician responsible for the Andrew Tan Chan, he put together two long-term research data from these two studies were started in the 1980s, continued into the 2000s, a total of 127,865 patients were enrolled, participants visit twice a year, ask them not taking aspirin, etc. data to 2006 and 2012 respectively statistics which there are no or so people get colorectal cancer deaths.
Researchers statistics, among all participants, there are 1,200 people get colorectal cancer, which, if not BRAF gene mutations in patients taking aspirin, can reduce 27% of the incidence of colorectal cancer, and eating more doses more, taking longer, the effect is more obvious.
But if there is a BRAF mutation in patients that eat eat aspirin is absolutely no help. The same research team also published in October last year, had already attained colorectal cancer patients to eat more aspirin, longer survival time. Aspirin seems that the friend of mankind, will be our new friends against colorectal cancer, at least for the BRAF mutation is not for people who yes.
But taking aspirin also have side effects, the most common is easy to stomach ulcers, as well as because of its anti-clotting effect, coagulation will deteriorate, easy bruising or bleeding, so we should live within its means, everything goes too far ah.
