Previous mostly retrospective/observational studies evaluated low-dose aspirin administered once daily in the setting of ET. In this study, the more frequent dosing was found optimal.
Risk for 10-year liver-related mortality also lower among aspirin users with chronic hepatitis B or C.
Researchers examined pregnancy outcomes in 102 patients with essential thrombocythemia.
Aspirin use three or more times per week tied to reduced all-cause, cancer, GI cancer, CRC mortality.
But during extended exposure periods of at least five years, low-dose aspirin may cut mortality.
Inverse association for low-dose but not standard-dose aspirin with ovarian cancer risk.
An analysis of results from the NHS and the HPFS showed that regular use of aspirin — standard-dose 325-mg tablets — reduced hepacellular carcinoma in a dose-dependent manner.
The use of anti-inflammatory analgesics, such as aspirin, may extend survival for patients with ovarian cancer.
In a review of nearly 200,000 patients from a Midwest metropolitan area, researchers sought to determine if chronic aspirin use would offer the same risk reduction for melanoma as has been seen in various cancers.
