Aspirin and non steroidal anti-inflammmatory drugs (NSAIDs) May Protect Against Common Skin Cancer

 

Researchers show that use of nonaspirin NSAIDs significantly reduces the risk of developing (SCC) Squamous Cell Carcinoma by 15%. The Topical NSAID diclofenac is approved to treat actinic keratoses  "raise the possibility that oral aspirin or non-aspirin NSAIDs could be used as chemopreventive agents for cutaneous SCC also."

Food for thought:  Many of you who have visited my website drshawnie.com or who have been patients know that I promote the deflame diet.  It is all about a lifestyle of eating to reduce inflammation.  Hence Eat right to prevent disease and cancer.

 

I share this information to stir your curiosity to search for ways to improve your health and it is not meant to be treatment advise .  Seek a professional for treatment of any skin abnormalities.
