Here's some exciting (if preliminary) news from a big study conducted by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, reported by Reuters:
Prostate cancer patients who had been treated with either surgery or radiation, and who took aspirin or other anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin, were far less likely to die of cancer, the researchers said. Those who took the drugs had a 4 percent risk of dying from prostate cancer after 10 years, compared to 10 percent for men who did not take anticoagulants. Men with high-risk prostate cancer benefited the most, the researchers said ahead of an American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting, which starts next week in San Diego. ... Choe's team looked at a study of 5,275 men whose cancer had not spread beyond the prostate gland. Of the men, 1,982 were taking anticoagulants. Those taking aspirin or other drugs to reduce clotting were far less likely to have the prostate tumors pop up elsewhere in their bodies and were less likely to die, Choe's team said in materials published ahead of the meeting.
It's important to note that these patients were already taking anticoagulants on a regular basis. So it could just be the case that men who are prone to deep vein thrombosis, heart attacks, and other problems commonly treated or prevented with anticoagulants are also prone to living longer after having prostate cancer. Other studies will be needed to determine whether aspirin really makes a difference in cancer prognosis when men take it who have no other reason to take an anticoagulant.
On the other hand, look at those numbers: Nearly 38% of the patients were taking anticoagulants. Prostate cancer affects billions of men worldwide, and 38% of billions is a lot of people. So at the very least, anyone who gets prostate cancer can be relatively assured that their anticoagulants are not going to make the cancer worse, and that will be a big relief. It's certainly a much better outcome than having to choose between treating cancer and preventing heart attacks.
The good news is that easy. Better hydration promotes more efficient elimination of waste and toxins from the body, which in turn promotes better skin health, improve eye health and also help in weight loss. All it takes years off. nose huggie review
My concern is that Aspirin is know to cause bleeding to the gut and ulcers, this kind of self-help may cause persons over use it especially since it’s an over the counter drug.
I did note your caution, “Aspirin may be a commonly used, cheap and readily available over-the-counter medication, but it can still cause serious medical problems, especially stomach bleeding.”
It may have been helpful ate the end of the piece say at the end with that caution with perhaps highlighted and printed in BOLD.
Having said that the article was informative and helpful

Nice information here, keep it coming… thank you.
I completely agree, too often we assume that because they are over the counter they are harmless but the reality is many medications have associated risks. Staying well hydrated, getting adequate vitamin D, eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, and consuming a high anti-oxidant diet will also protect your prostate and benefit your overall health and wellness, without any side effects.

Thanks for posting this study, great information to tell patients.
Thanks for the information, very well written
Interesting thoughts. There is so much advice out there for prostate cancer patients that it is difficult to know what to believe. Glad to see a nice short post which summarises the key points.
Really great post. Thank you for this. Nice to see everyone putting their points of view across well.
very nice blog… highly informative and good content, our new life styles are also playing a key role in the cause of this disease….
Thanks for the input! Much appreciated!
The post is nicely describe, really good research work, and i must say that writer must had a deep study of cancer patients and treatment.
Aspirin can be used durin prostate cancer. But I think it’s too hard for stomach. Aspirin therapy can be followed by ulcer.
A change of lifestyle of course is needed to counterbalance any medication especially if it’s for a more serious of health issues. This information is truly helpful for those who are looking to try any solution. And definitely, have a regular check up to keep tabs of things, exercise enough and eat healthily.
This is very useful and informative.
Thank you
Very interesting post & very useful information.
Men are indeed doing better and living longer and more productive lives after being treated for prostate cancer.
A significant part of our practice is helping men achieve good erections after being treated for prostate cancer. Our success rate is excellent. So anticoagulants are great, but getting great erections is equally important. Please visit our website and read the pages on penile rehabilitation.

Cars which are expensive are more at risk of being robbed. Aside from that insurance policies are also depending on the value of the car, so the higher in price it is, then the higher the particular premium you pay.

PC muscles exercises are good for prostate health as well. I disuss them on my blog at Thevigrxman
That is a very large number, 38percent of the billion men globally. However, I’ve something from Mens Magazine that having sex everyday(if one can sustain it) can help prevent prostate cancer.
