(prHWY.com) September 11, 2012 - Richmond, VA -- Richmond, Virginia - Can a medication as simple and accessible as aspirin help ward off cancer? A new study conducted by the American Cancer Society and published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reinforces the case for aspirin established by previous studies. In the new report, researchers found that overall; subjects who took aspirin on a daily basis had a 16% lower risk of dying from cancer than non-users. The previous study involved an analysis of clinical trials that showed that people taking aspirin were less likely to die of cancer than those not taking the medication, regardless of whether or not they had Virginia insurance. A 37% drop in cancer deaths was observed from five years onwards. Historically, cancer has been a major health concern, especially for those hoping to receive approval for Virginia insurance.

The most recent report was based on a decade's worth of data from more than 100,000 men and women in the United States, with the vast majority of the subjects over the age of 60 and all of the subjects non-smokers. Findings from both of these reports have been met with some skepticism, one example being researchers who criticized the new study for failing to take into account overall death rates or side effects resulting from daily aspirin consumption. The main problem with previous aspirin trials and the recent findings, these researchers claimed, is the frequent occurrence of a detection bias. A significant percentage of those who develop stomach bleeding from aspirin consumption see the doctor, and some of those patients end up getting tumors of precancerous polyps removed. This procedure can prolong these patients' lives - hence the drop in cancer deaths.

Ultimately, no final ruling has yet been reached on whether or not taking aspirin on a consistent basis can help ward off cancer. However, both prevention and treatment are essential in the fight against cancer, and Virginia insurance has a major impact on the costs involved.
