    Nice! I'm taking a baby aspirin every other day (when I can remember to....) Funny that the money is coming from the Dept of Defense!

    Sorry for being pedantic, but the subject line should be changed from "study" to "clinical trial".
    "Studies" have little impact on oncology protocols, but a "clinical trial" has the power to change practice.

    Regardless, this is good.

    I looked for the trial on clinicaltrials.gov. It hasn't been added yet.
    I did see 6 trials that incorporate Aspirin and BC. It appears half of them didn't go anywhere. No surprise there.
    There are 84 other cancer clinical trials that have incorporated Aspirin, so surely there is some effectiveness.
