The same low-dose aspirin that many of these women take to prevent cardiovascular disease may also help reduce their risk of breast cancer.

‘Intake of 75-165 mg daily reduced breast cancer risk by 47% in women who were diabetic for more than a decade.’

The researchers reported that a high cumulative dose of aspirin over the 14-year study period reduced breast cancer risk by 47%, whereas low and medium cumulative doses did not reduce risk. 




"Women with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of breast cancer, and these results suggest that the same low-dose aspirin that many of these women take to prevent cardiovascular disease may also help reduce their risk of breast cancer," says Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health.
