Aspirin Linked to Lower Brain Cancer Risk

Taking aspirin regularly may reduce a person's risk for a certain type of brain cancer, a new study finds. In the study, researchers found that people who regularly took aspirin had a nearly 34 percent lower risk of a type of brain tumor called a glioma, compared with people who didn't take aspirin regularly. This is not the first study to look at the link between over-the-counter pain relievers and brain cancer risk.
