Researchers are taking some new findings about aspirin with a grain of salt.
A study suggests that taking aspirin often might raise the risk of pancreatic cancer. But other studies indicate that aspirin use lowers the risk of more common cancers.
The study found women who took two or more tablets a week for 20 or more years had a 58 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer. But an earlier study had found aspirin reduced the risk.
And pancreatic cancer is rare, while studies have indicated that aspirin can reduce the risk of colon cancer, which is much more common. So a researcher says women should not stop taking aspirin.
