Can aspirin stop cancer's spread?

If aspirin's health benefits were limited to reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and promoting heart health, it would be quite enough. However, researchers are continuing to find new ways that this common drug improves health and combats disease. The latest findings provide an answer to how aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs are able to help inhibit the spread of cancer. New research shows that aspirin's cancer-inhibiting effect may be traced to its ability to shut down the chemical "highways" that feed cancer cells. It seems that aspirin is able to reduce the dilation of vessels that feed tumors throughout the body. Once these "supply lines" are restricted, cancer growth slows. Once more, aspirin proves itself to be a "miracle drug."

HINT: Physicians often recommend the regular use of aspirin to lower the risk of heart attack, clot-related strokes and other blood flow problems.
