Aspirin's Benefit In Aggressive Breast Cancer ⁠ ⁠

Aspirin May Show Benefit In Aggressive Breast Cancer ⁠   A Christie NHS Foundation Trust research team in England has launched a new trial treating triple-negative breast-cancer patients with aspirin.⁠ ⁠ They suspect aspirin could fight this aggressive form of breast cancer by making hard-to-treat tumours more responsive to anti-cancer drugs.⁠ ⁠ It is aspirin's anti-inflammatory properties rather than its analgesic effect that could make it effective, the researchers said.⁠ ⁠ In the trial, researchers said that some patients will be given aspirin as well as immunotherapy drug avelumab before they receive surgery and chemotherapy. ⁠ ⁠ If the study is successful it may lead to clinical trials of aspirin + avelumab for incurable secondary triple-negative breast cancer, which is when cancer cells that started in the breast metastasize to other parts of the body.⁠ ⁠ The researchers said they hope the trial will show that, when combined with immunotherapy, aspirin can enhance its effects by preventing a weakening of the immune response to cancer drugs. This could lead to a new way to treat breast cancer. ⁠ ⁠ However, they also cautioned that it is too soon to recommend aspirin to breast cancer patients. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
