"Whether aspirin may help prevent or reduce the risk of breast cancer remains a hotly debated research question. While past studies have indicated a potential benefit, most recently in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, one new study from Penn Medicine suggests otherwise. Aspirin does not appear to be protective or associated with improved clinical outcomes or survival among breast cancer patients with aggressive disease, the researchers of one study report. However, another study suggests aspirin may in fact help reduce breast tissue density, which could lead to earlier detection of some breast cancers. Results of both studies will be presented at the 2015 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (Abstracts PD1-04 and PD1-05, respectively) on Wednesday, December 9."

Here are what I think are the corresponding abstracts:
