Modification of the Association Between Frequent Aspirin Use and Ovarian Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis Using Individual-Level Data From Two Ovarian Cancer Consortia
Previously it has been thought that regular aspirin use would reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer by reducing inflammation. Through the databases of the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium and the Ovarian Cancer Cohort association it has been possible to assess the aspirin usage for 8326 women with ovarian cancer and compare to normal women.
Findings from the analysis showed frequent aspirin use (6 days or more each week) was protective. Those women had a 13% less risk of ovarian cancer.
Protection with aspirin use was seen for all women with varying known risk factors except for endometriosis associated cancer, which was not affected.
