アスピリンが皮膚がんのリスクを下げる

BBC announced that"Aspirin could reduce the risk of skill cancer".

Skin cancer is usually classified the three, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or the rarer but more dangerous malignant melanoma.

The News shows that the aspirin could reduce the risk about 15% for the developing squamous cell carcinoma and 13% for the malignant melanoma according to the journal Cancer.

Surely, the aspirin is expired and we can manufacture it by low cost. The main cause of skin cancer is sun burn. Therefore, we can probably deliver the anticancer drug to the patients at the Developing countries near the equator by low cost.

However, a lot of verifications would be needed more. I hope their research continue.

Aspirin 'may prevent skin cancer'

An aspirin a day may protect against skin cancer, some experts believe.

People who take aspirin tablets or similar painkillers on a regular basis cut their risk of developing skin cancer - including the most deadly type - malignant melanoma - by about 15%, research suggests.

The work in the journal Cancer involved nearly 200,000 people in Denmark.

But experts say using sunscreen and avoiding too much sun are still the best ways to prevent skin cancer.
