Abstract

Observational and intervention studies suggest that low dose aspirin use may prevent cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effect of long term low dose aspirin use (6 years aspirin use compared to 6 years aspirin use 0.95, 95% CI 0.60-1.49). Our results do not support the primary prevention of cancer among long term aspirin users.
