00:00Should you take aspirin to prevent cancer?

00:02A 2024 study reveals aspirin might help your immune system stop colorectal cancer from spreading.

00:09That's a big deal, since colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the U.S.,

00:14and cases rose by 2% just last year.

00:17Researchers looked at tissue from 238 patients.

00:21Those taking low-dose aspirin daily had fewer cancer cells in their lymph nodes.

00:26Why?

00:27Aspirin may help your immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells faster.

00:32It boosts immune cell activity inside tumors and helps defense cells detect cancer proteins better.

00:37But before you reach for that pill, hold on.

00:40This study was observational.

00:42It showed a link, not cause and effect.

00:45Plus, daily aspirin has risks like serious bleeding, especially for people with certain health issues.

00:51Doctors say we need more clinical trials to confirm these benefits,

00:54and aspirin's impact when combined with chemo or radiation is still unknown.

01:00So for now, talk to your doctor.

01:02Aspirin might help, but it's not a one-size-fits-all cancer shield.
