Common pill reveals uncommon power against cancer spread.
2025 study has revealed that aspirin may play a powerful role in stopping cancer from spreading throughout the body. Researchers found that aspirin interferes with platelets that normally shield cancer cells, allowing the immune system to recognize and attack tumors more effectively.
Platelets can suppress CD8+ T cells, which are the immune system’s primary cancer-fighting soldiers. When this suppression occurs, cancer cells gain the ability to travel and form new tumors. Aspirin breaks this process by lifting platelet-induced immune suppression, restoring the body’s natural anti-tumor defenses.
With immune surveillance reactivated, metastasis is significantly reduced in multiple cancer models. This discovery shifts aspirin from a simple pain reliever into a potential ally in cancer prevention and progression control.
