Daily aspirin 'cuts cancer death risk'

Oxford scientists have revealed that taking a daily dose of aspirin lowers the chance of dying from cancer by more than a third.

Their research also found that the pills not only reduce the likelihood of contracting the illness, they also protect against it spreading.

They claimed that the evidence is so strong that in future the NHS watchdog NICE may issue guidelines telling doctors to prescribe aspirin to cancer sufferers, the Daily Mail reported.
