Daily Aspirin helps to combat bowel cancer

We often hear about wonder drugs than can help fight off cancer and now a Newcastle led study could have made a real breakthrough.

For years scientists have reported people who take aspirin on a daily basis have fewer cancers but that's not without side affects.

Now after 10 years of research involving nearly 19 hundred people with Lynch Syndrome. A genetic condition that could lead to bowel cancer. Scientists have found baby aspirin could do the same job.

Professor Sir John Burn from Newcastle University has been heading up the study.
