00:00Could a simple pill you take for headaches help stop cancer from spreading?
00:04Scientists think so.
00:06Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that aspirin—yes, the everyday
00:11painkiller—may prevent cancer from spreading by boosting the immune system.
00:15It works by stopping a clotting factor in the blood that weakens immune cells, allowing
00:20them to fight cancer better.
00:22Tests in mice showed incredible results, and now clinical trials are underway to see if
00:26aspirin can stop cancer from coming back in humans.
00:29Experts call this a Eureka moment with the potential to make cancer treatment more affordable
00:34worldwide.
00:36But don't rush to take aspirin just yet.
00:38It can have serious side effects, so always consult your doctor first.
00:43If these trials succeed, this could be a game-changer in the fight against cancer.
00:47Could aspirin really be the key?
