Aspirin a day may help treat prostate cancer

A DAILY dose of aspirin significantly improves the test results of men with prostate cancer, research has shown.

Taking the pill causes their PSA level to fall, suggesting that it is helping the body fight the disease.

PSA, or prostate specific antigen, is a protein, and its levels are often elevated in men with prostate cancer. PSA levels are used to monitor progress of the cancer.
