Key Takeaways

  • Do NOT take daily aspirin for cancer prevention if you’re healthy with no history of cardiovascular events (primary prevention).
  • Continue aspirin only if prescribed after a heart attack, stroke, or stent (secondary prevention) – consult your doctor before making changes.
  • Be aware of increased cancer mortality risk – healthy older adults (70+) taking aspirin had 15% higher cancer death rates in the ASPREE trial.
  • Understand the timeline – any negative effects disappeared when participants stopped taking aspirin.
