Daily Aspirin Use Linked with Pancreatic Cancer
Mon October 27, 2003 12:51 PM ET


By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Women who take an aspirin a day -- which millions do to prevent heart attack and stroke as well as to treat headaches -- may raise their risk of getting deadly pancreatic cancer, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
Those who took 14 tablets or more per week had an 86 percent greater risk of pancreatic cancer than non-users. The nurses who took between six and 13 tablets had a 41 percent higher risk, while those who only took one to three aspirins a week had an 11 percent greater risk.

Very disappointing to see. It seems to be a catch-22. It is a good idea to take one a day, but it might be a contributing risk factor.
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer.
