But has one of the best weapons against colorectal cancer been sitting overlooked in your medicine cabinet? Research suggests that an aspirin a day might help to keep colorectal cancer away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is Colorectal Cancer?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal cancer describes any cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. These cancers can also be referred to individually as colon cancer or rectal cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal cancer is common in both men and women, but it tends to affect men more often. An estimated one in 23 men will develop colorectal cancer within their lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not only common, but deadly. Colorectal cancer ranks as the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/colon-cancer-screening-guidelines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routine screening<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remains the gold standard for reducing your risk of dying from colorectal cancer. But research suggests that some men might also benefit from adding a daily low dose of aspirin to their prevention toolkit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Understanding Colorectal Cancer: Risks and Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we dive into the link between aspirin and colorectal cancer, you should know a few things about the common risk factors and symptoms of this cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune into this video from Stanford Health Care to learn about colorectal cancer risk, symptoms, and prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fW4Y_poPPxg\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" frameborder=\"&quot;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk Factors for Men<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like other common types of cancer, there are some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/mens-health\/colon-cancer-risk-factors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risk factors<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for colorectal cancer you can control and some you can\u2019t. For example, you can\u2019t control risk factors like your age, family history of colorectal cancer, race\/ethnicity, personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, or inherited syndromes. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/gender-identity\/cancer-treatment-disparities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gay and bisexual men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may also have a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer, but more research is needed to confirm this risk factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are several lifestyle factors that can help to mitigate your risk. These include your:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alcohol consumption.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regularly drinking alcohol can increase your risk for certain cancers, including colorectal cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Diet.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An unhealthy diet with excess fats and animal protein may contribute to cancer risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Physical activity. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men who aren\u2019t physically active are at an increased risk for obesity and certain cancers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tobacco use.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Smoking and other forms of tobacco use significantly increase your risk for developing cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having one or more colorectal cancer risk factors doesn\u2019t guarantee that you will develop this cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Symptoms to Watch Out For<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal cancer primarily affects the end of your digestive system.

Researchers have also explored aspirin\u2019s use for preventing and treating a variety of other ailments.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2.jpeg-5.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Traditional Uses of Aspirin<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin, also called acetylsalicylic acid, has been around for over a century. Aspirin is a trusty go-to for treating headaches and body aches. It\u2019s also commonly used for helping to bring down fever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin: More Than Just a Pain Reliever<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin does more than help soothe aches and pains. For decades, it\u2019s been used as a blood thinner to help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have explored the use of aspirin in other areas, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/does-aspirin-aggravate-or-help-with-erectile-dysfunction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improving erections<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or reducing inflammation in arthritis patients. More recently, researchers have studied aspirin for its use in preventing colorectal cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Aspirin Works in the Body<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be wondering how one little pill can do so much. Watch this video from the British Heart Foundation to see just how aspirin works in your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WOWLsHldqwM\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" frameborder=\"&quot;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin works by blocking pathways that could lead to inflammation, pain, and fever when your body is injured. It blocks an enzyme called cyclooxygenase, or COX, which reduces prostaglandin production. This is similar to using a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire before it has the chance to spread.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Connection Between Aspirin and Colorectal Cancer Prevention<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin has shown promise at reducing some people\u2019s risk for developing colorectal cancer. Researchers continue to explore the potential risks and benefits of using aspirin to prevent colorectal cancer in specific populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overview of Recent Studies on Aspirin and Colorectal Cancer<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research findings have sparked interest in the potential of aspirin to prevent colorectal cancer. For example, a study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamaoncology\/fullarticle\/2775175\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAMA Oncology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that regular aspirin use, started at a younger age, was linked to a lower risk of colorectal cancer. In fact, those who had regularly used aspirin for over five years before the age of 70 had a significantly reduced risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This suggests that starting aspirin early might be key to reaping its potential benefits against colorectal cancer. However, the risks don\u2019t outweigh the benefits for everyone. For example, some people are at an increased risk for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding when they take aspirin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) reviewed research on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.7326\/M16-0577\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aspirin\u2019s role in preventing colorectal cancer and cardiovascular events<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They concluded that there is adequate evidence that aspirin use reduces the risk of colorectal cancer in adults after 5-10 years of use. They also stated that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks of long-term aspirin use for groups meeting specific criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USPSTF issued recommendations for aspirin use in adults based on age, cardiovascular health, and risk of bleeding. They caution that the evidence for aspirin use to prevent colorectal cancer in adults younger than 50 or older than 69 years is insufficient to establish potential risks and benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Aspirin May Help Prevent Colorectal Cancer<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have not yet pinpointed the exact mechanisms for how aspirin might work to prevent colorectal cancer. There are several evidence-based theories, but additional research is needed to confirm these results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin may work by preventing chronic inflammation, which is known to fuel cancer development. Some research suggests that aspirin may work best in preventing colorectal cancers that overexpress COX-2. A study published in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa067208\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New England Journal of Medicine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that regular aspirin use was linked to reduced risk of colorectal cancers that overexpress COX-2, but not in cancers with low or absent COX-2 expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some research suggests that aspirin use may only help to prevent certain subtypes of colorectal cancer. A study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/1700495\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAMA <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found that regular aspirin use was associated with decreased risk of BRAF-wild-type colorectal cancer, but not for BRAF-mutated cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent research also hints at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8777015\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aspirin influencing the gut microbiome positively<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that thwart colorectal cancer&#8217;s progression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: calc(1.3rem + 0.6vw); background-color: var(--bs-body-bg); color: var(--bs-body-color); font-family: var(--bs-body-font-family); text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);\">The Role of Aspirin in Colorectal Cancer Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old saying \u201can ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure\u201d holds true. However, aspirin may also play a role in improving colon cancer treatment outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aspirin Use After Diagnosis<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s still hope for those who have already received a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/colorectal-cancer-diagnosis-an-overview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colorectal cancer diagnosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmccancer.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12885-018-4142-y\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> produced mixed findings on the significance of regular aspirin use after diagnosis. However, emerging evidence suggests that regular aspirin use after colorectal cancer diagnosis may contribute to reducing the risk of dying from the disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Impact of Aspirin on Survival Rates<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another study published in JAMA examined the link between aspirin use after colorectal cancer diagnosis on colorectal cancer\u2013specific and overall survival. They found that regular aspirin use after diagnosis was associated with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/184381\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer-specific mortality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/184381\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21 percent reduction in overall mortality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This association was strongest in patients with tumors that overexpressed COX-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An extensive analysis of five randomized trials with long-term follow-up bolstered the argument for regular aspirin use to reduce colorectal cancer incidence and deaths.
