Researchers Say Aspirin May Help Prevent Heart Disease And Cancer
ROCKVILLE, MD (CBS) -- Could aspirin be used to fight cancer?
For the first time ever, experts are recommending a daily low dose of aspirin to help prevent both heart disease and cancer.
They say aspirin taken over a 10-year period may help high-risk patients between 50 and 69.
However, aspirin is a blood thinner, so doctors worry it can lead to internal bleeding.
They recommend consulting a physician before taking the medication.
