	Aspirin May Help Prevent Colon Cancer  (New York, Reuters Health, 4/8/02) Dr. John A. Baron of Dartmouth Medical School in Lebanon, New Hampshire reports that taking a baby aspirin daily decreased the risk of polyp recurrence for patients who had already had precancerous colon polyps removed. Aspirin may protect the colon by reducing postaglandins which promote tumor growth; however, the downside is that it can cause side-effects, like stomach bleeding.
