People who take aspirin at least three times per week are more likely to survive bladder cancer. Regular aspirin use also was associated with a reduced risk of death from breast cancer. However, taking aspirin had no effect on a person's risk of getting several forms of the disease. These diseases include bladder, breast, gastrointestinal or pancreatic cancers. Aspirin also did not reduce a person's risk of death from gastrointestinal or pancreatic cancer. Aspirin is readily available and cheap as well, says the reports from UPI.
The common parasite Toxoplasma gondii is spread to people through undercooked pork and occasionally domestic cats. Chronic T. gondii infections are linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia, lowered cognition, and behavioral changes like more risk-taking and aggression. Now, scientists say the parasite might have more insidious health effects than previously suspected. Gizmodo reports new research suggests a link between Toxoplasma gondii infection and an increased risk of gliomas, the most common form of brain cancer. The US sees 24,000 new cases of brain cancer annually, while 11% of Americans over age six carry T. gondii--upwards of 30 million people. So even if the connection is real, the chances of getting brain cancer as a result of chronic T. gondii infection are very low on an individual level.
