Daily Aspirin Improves Prostate Cancer Survival...
Dear Reader,
A new study finds that men who have prostate cancer that has not spread from the gland itself can be helped by one of the most common, most readily available drugs of western medicine - the aspirin. Researchers presenting at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) report that the risk of dying from this form of cancer was cut by more than half by aspirin or another anticoagulant (blood thinning) medication. The benefit was most prominent in those who had high-risk disease.
Prostate cancer usually happens in older men, and experts expect over 217,000 new cases to be diagnosed this year.
This is one of the most common cancers in men, and can grow slowly and stay contained in the gland, or be more aggressive and able to spread quickly.
As with all cancers, early detection gives a patient the best chance for a successful outcome.
The team, led by Dr. Kevin Choe, a radiation oncologist with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, performed a retrospective review of medical records of over 5,000 men with prostate cancer that hadn't spread beyond the prostate and were being treated with surgery or radiation.
A majority of the subjects were taking aspirin (1,649), while other medication included warfarin (428 subjects), Plavix (287 subjects), enoxaparin (26 subjects) or a combination (408 subjects) of blood thinners. The average follow up was almost 7 years.
During that time only 1% of those who'd been taking any anticoagulant had died compared to 4% of those in the control group. At 10 years, 4% of those taking blood thinning medication had died, compared to 10% of the no medication group. This works out to a risk reduction of almost 50% according to the researchers calculations.
Aspirin was the medication that seemed to account for most of the benefit seen in the research. The chances of the cancer spreading to the bone were cut while PSA blood levels, a marker doctor's use to measure the advance of cancer, were also better controlled. This benefit came whether the patient had been treated with surgery or radiotherapy.
There has been some earlier evidence that cancer and the coagulation system of the body might be tied together in some way. Cancer patients do tend to develop clots in their lungs and legs more often, and those who have clots in this area also tend to develop cancer more readily. The team hypothesizes that anticoagulant medications might bring down the chance of death from prostate cancer in those who have localized disease.
It seems that cancer cells are coated by platelets when they enter the bloodstream and are ready to spread. The platelets protect them from immune cells and help them stick in their next location. Anticoagulants may interfere with this process.
Still we're a long way from recommending anticoagulants as a standard therapy in all patients with prostate cancer. But if you're taking aspirin for other reasons (usually cardiovascular) then you may also see the benefit in terms of prostate cancer.
Of course aspirin brings the risk of stomach bleeding, which is a concern for patients.

Daily Aspirin Improves Prostate Cancer Survival... Continued...
A second study, also presented at ASTRO that was conducted in the Untied States,
Canada and Great Britain finds that a combination of hormone therapy plus radiation
may be the best treatment for those with locally advanced prostate cancer that
has a high risk of coming back. This counters the view that hormone therapy is
useless according to study lead author Dr. Malcolm Mason a radiation oncologist
at Cardiff University.
This trial, involving 1,200 men who were chosen at random to receive hormone
therapy alone or in combination with radiation. A review at the six-year mark
finds that those taking the combination therapy had a 43% reduced risk of dying
from prostate cancer, without major side effects. If the final analysis figures
are similar, the risk reduction seen here will hold true. The results may change
the standard treatment for localized, high-risk prostate cancer.
It's important to understand that research presented at scientific meetings doesn't
undergo the same scrutiny as the work published in well-respected journals. If
you have questions or concerns, talk with your own doctor.
To your good health,
