Aspirin may boost immune response against cancer cells

ynetnews.com —

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that aspirin may help the immune system fight cancer by reducing platelet activity. This could allow T cells to better identify and destroy cancer cells, potentially preventing metastasis. The study, published in the journal Nature, showed that aspirin enhances T cell function in animal models. However, experts caution that more research is needed before making clinical recommendations, as the findings are still in early stages. While aspirin is a well-known medication, its use as a cancer treatment requires further investigation. Current data suggests it may be beneficial for certain cancer types, but it should only be considered under medical supervision or in clinical trials.
