研究发现：阿司匹林可预防结肠癌

BERLIN (Reuters) - A daily dose of aspirin can prevent cancer in people with a genetic

disorder that increases their risk of developing the disease,

scientists said on Monday.

The finding could also have important implications for the wider population; although

more research is needed and unraveling the connection will take some time

since the benefits of aspirin were only seen after several years.

John Burn of the Institute of Human Genetics at Newcastle University in

Britain said his study might also have uncovered a simple way of controlling

stems cells that make tumors grow.

一些科学家在周一表示：对于那些基因混乱而导致患癌风险增加的人，

每日服用阿司匹林可以预防癌症。

此发现对更广泛的人群也有重要意义。不过还需要更深入的研究，

以及更多的时间来揭示两者之间的联系－－

因为阿司匹林的好处也是若干年后才发现的。

英国纽卡斯尔大学人类基因研究院的John Burn表示，

他的研究也许可以发现一种通过控制干细胞来抑制肿瘤细胞增长的简单方法。
