For years, scientists have said that aspirin has the potential to protect people from the deadly grip of colorectal cancer. But only now are they unlocking just how this common pain reliever may pull off such a feat.
Aspirin Heightens Immune Surveillance of Tumors
Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that affects either the large intestine or the rectum. Globally, it is the third most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Colorectal cancer accounts for roughly one in 10 of all cancer cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, there were nearly 2 million new cases of colorectal cancer—frequently detected late, limiting treatment possibilities—worldwide, and it caused more than 930,000 deaths, according to WHO.
Further lab analysis showed aspirin exposure increased the expression of the CD80 protein on certain immune cells. CD80 is known for regulating cell activity, and its increased expression enhanced the immune cells’ ability to detect tumor-associated proteins.
Rectal cancer patients using aspirin exhibited higher CD80 levels in healthy rectal tissue, suggesting aspirin stimulated increased immune surveillance.
“Our study shows a complementary mechanism of cancer prevention or therapy with aspirin besides its classical drug mechanism involving inhibition of inflammation,” Dr. Marco Scarpa, a general surgeon at the University of Padova Hospital in Italy and the study’s principal investigator, said in a press release.
Aspirin may also protect against colorectal cancer by reducing inflammation, which can impair the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, Nazlie Latefi, who holds a doctorate in neuroscience, biochemistry, and molecular biology and is not associated with the study, told The Epoch Times.
From Pain Relief to Disease Prevention
Aspirin’s history dates back around 3,500 years to ancient Egyptians using willow bark, a natural source of the compound. However, it wasn’t synthesized as a drug until 1897 by Bayer chemist Felix Hoffmann, eventually becoming one of the world’s most widely used medications.Evidence shows this naturally occurring substance is proving effective against significant health threats.
Despite the benefits, all medications, including aspirin, carry potential risks. Though typically safe, aspirin can cause gastrointestinal ulcers, increased bleeding risk from blood thinning, and allergic reactions like hives and asthma in some people.

If Aspirin can prevent ANY type of Cancer than You can bet the Farm that
Aspirin will become ILLEGAL or a Controlled Substance!
To think that all these years I’ve been taking aspirin orally. Perhaps it should be called “asspirin”.😉
I know most people on here are well meaning, but to blanketly tell people to take daily aspirin (whether 81 mg or 325 mg) is dangerous.
It’s a blood thinner and puts people at risk for internal bleeding, especially with elderly folks when you combine that with their higher risk for falls.
I’m 81 and have been taking BC Powders for as many years as I can remember. Usually from 4 to 8 pkgs a day, so lots. Finally last year I had a small tumor
on a kidney. Was in the USMC at camp Leguene NC in 1961 and was told it was from the water there. So to me aspirin is the best thing since bread. So does
it help Cancer? Aspirin , gotta Luv it.
