Painkillers
May Prevent Prostate Cancer
(Rochester, Minn., Reuters Science, 3/12/02)
Mayo clinic researchers found that men over 60 who took
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), like aspirin
and ibuprofen, were less likely to develop prostate cancer.
The researchers did not provide an explanation for this
apparent protective effect on the prostate and it should also
be noted that NSAIDs can have serious side-effects on the
stomach and liver. |
