It has long been hypothesised that aspirin prevents cancer deaths by preventing metastasis. A recent study demonstrates this to be mediated through inhibition of Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) leading to reversal of suppression of T cell immunity. I appraise the context and future research implications of th...

| Summary: | It has long been hypothesised that aspirin prevents cancer deaths by preventing metastasis. A recent study demonstrates this to be mediated through inhibition of Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) leading to reversal of suppression of T cell immunity. I appraise the context and future research implications of these findings. |
