Daily Aspirin Wards Off Pancreatic Cancer: Yale Study

People who take low-dose aspirin for more than 10 years might be reducing their risk for pancreatic cancer, a new study suggests.

Even taking a daily aspirin for just three years lowered the chances of the deadly cancer by 48 percent, the researchers said.

"Aspirin use has potential risks of its own, thus the risks and benefits for each person have to be evaluated based on personal characteristics," said lead researcher Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.

I agree and disagree.I think the low dose regimine is perfect for a person who is in their proper height/weight range.If however a person is excessively overweight I personally think a standard 325 aspirin is more appropriate.This would be especially true if a person was playing a game of catch up.
