type of breast cancer

Researchers have developed a vaccine they say has completely eliminated a type of breast cancer tumour in tests on mice.

(BioMed Central) Taking aspirin on a daily basis may lower women's risk of a particular type of breast cancer, according to results published in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research.

In this large study, aspirin use was linked to a small reduction in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers.

However, unlike in some previous research, aspirin and related painkillers were not found to reduce the total risk of breast cancer.
