Jeremy Bellaiche, Founder of Shuf, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Excited to share the first episode of The Translational Edge season 2 with Yan Leyfman, MD exclusively on Shuf ! How Aspirin Helps Prevent Cancer Spread: The Science Behind a 100-Year-Old Drug.
1. People who regularly took low-dose aspirin had lower risks of several cancers – and those who did develop cancer had fewer metastases.
2. Aspirin uncloaks cancer cells so the immune system can see them again.
3. This isn’t about telling everyone to take aspirin – that’s a decision that must be made with your doctor due to bleeding risks.
4. Metastasis is not just about the cancer cell… it’s about the ecosystem around it. Platelets, inflammation, immune escape – aspirin intersects all three.
5. Sometimes the next frontier in cancer prevention isn’t a $1 million therapy. Sometimes it’s a 99-cent pill.”
