A second study suggested the mechanism responsible for preventing the tumors could be the medicine\u2019s ability to block production of a hormone that spurs cancer growth.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">\u201cLow-dose aspirin is taken by millions of Americans to prevent heart attacks and strokes,\u201d said\u00a0<a style=\"color: #00a0b2;\" title=\"Open Web Site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vicc.org\/dd\/display.php?person=pierre.massion\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Pierre Massion<\/span><\/a>, a professor of medicine and cancer biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville who worked on the research. \u201cIt has been shown to prevent colon cancer. What we are saying is that the benefit of aspirin even at low doses could also help other cancers, including lung, breast and prostate.\u201d<\/div>\n<div id=\"dfp1\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">While promising results have been shown in studies of other tumor types, people generally don\u2019t take aspirin to prevent cancer or slow its growth. One obstacle was that researchers didn\u2019t know how aspirin worked on tumors. The new findings help answer those questions, Massion said in a telephone interview.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe found the mechanism to explain how low-dose aspirin can eventually decrease the incidence of new cancers after you have taken it for five years or more,\u201d he said. \u201cIt can also explain why people who are taking aspirin after being diagnosed have a lower risk of dying of their metastases.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cox-2 Inhibition<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Massion\u2019s laboratory study showed aspirin inhibited production of Cox-2, which then reduced levels of a prostaglandin called PGE2 that spurs cancer metastases. The findings mean aspirin doesn\u2019t only prevent blood platelets from sticking together, the primary way it helps reduce heart attacks. At the cellular level, it can also block Cox-2 in cancer, he said.<\/div>\n<div id=\"dfp2\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Studies to prevent prostate and other cancers with Merck &amp; Co.\u2019s Vioxx, a pain medicine that blocked Cox-2, were halted after the drug was pulled from the market because of its heart disease risks. Pfizer Inc. hasn\u2019t developed its Cox-2 inhibitor Celebrex for prostate cancer, though it is approved to treat a rare condition where intestinal polyps can lead to colon cancer.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Adriana Vidal, an assistant professor at Duke University School of Medicine and the lead author of the study that looked at prostate cancer rates, said more research is needed. The drugs have side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, which have to be weighed against the benefits, she said. The study was based on the patients\u2019 self-reported use of aspirin and pain medicine.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men who take a daily dose of aspirin or similar anti-inflammatory medicine may also reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer, researchers said.
