Aspirin
A major medical study proved that aspirin and ibuprofen may reduce breast cancer risk.
Specialists tested 2.7 million women in 38 separate studies. The result of the test was encouraging: women who took aspirin had a 13% lower risk of getting breast cancer than women who didn’t take, and women who took ibuprofen presented a 21% lower risk.
The results of the study were published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
If you want to try to use more of these pain relievers in order to reduce your own risk of getting breast cancer, you have to know that researchers mentioned that the pills can cause bleeding in your digestive tract.
Although studies show that women who take aspirin and ibuprofen have a lower risk of getting breast cancer, specialists declare that it is better not to use these pills to reduce the risk of breast cancer, but to use these pain relievers for their normal prescription.
Specialists say that some other factors are mainly responsible for the reduction of cancer risk. All in all, experts still work on finding out what other ways there are to reduce breast cancer risk.
