An Aspirin a Day May Still Lower Cancer Risk, but Not as Much as
Previously Thought
A new study offers fresh evidence that popping a daily aspirin is
associated with a lower risk of dying from cancer, but the size of the
potential protective effect may be smaller than previous research has
suggested

Radiation after lumpectomy helps prevent need for mastectomy in early
stage breast cancer‎‎
Contrary to clinical recommendations, older women with early stage
breast cancer may want to undergo radiation after lumpectomy to help
ensure that they will not need a mastectomy in the future. That is the
conclusion of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-
reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The findings indicate
that current thinking on the risks and benefits of radiation for early
stage breast cancer in older women may be inaccurate.

Early Breast Cancer in Older Women: Mastectomies Avoidable for Some
A study published in Cancer, the journal of the American Cancer
Society, provides evidence that older women with early-stage breast
cancer who undergo radiation therapy following a lumpectomy are less
likely to require a subsequent mastectomy. This is contrary to current
recommendations that suggest radiation therapy does not play a role in
determining whether an older woman will need a mastectomy following a
lumpectomy for her early-stage breast cancer. The authors suggest the
current recommendations are based on inaccurate thinking of the risks
and benefits of radiation therapy.
