Pain and cancer killers? .(Brief Article)
Taking over-the-counter pain-killers such as aspirin or ibuprofen could help reduce the risks of breast cancer by a fifth or more, says a study, which followed more than 80,000 women and was published in the April 2003 edition of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
The findings apply only to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Aspirin and ibuprofen are the best known examples of NSAIDs. Paracetamol and codeine, on the other hand, belong to the non-NSAID classes of painkillers.
Women who take two or more NSAID tablets a week are considered regular users. The research links steady use of aspirin for 5-9 years to a 21 percent reduction in risk of breast cancer over an average of 18 months.
