A pill purchased at a store could slow down cancer spread by removing brakes from the immune system, suggesting the study.
It was already thought that 3P painkillers were reduced to cancer, but scientists did not know how.

Now the “eureka moment” in the mouse experiment has revealed that aspirin reduces the level of chemical that blocks the effects of white blood cells.
This could help the patient’s immune system fighting tumors.
Pharmaceutical companies are investing billions of pounds trying to achieve the same thing with super -expensive new remedies.
But experts warn that the British should not try to treat aspirin because there is a risk of side effects.
Hopefully therapies will target a window of vulnerability of cancer cells

Study author Professor Rahul Roychoudhuri, from Cambridge University, said: “When the cancer spread for the first time, there is a unique window of possibilities when cells are particularly sensitive to an immune attack.
“We hope that therapies that target this vulnerability window will have a huge space to prevent cancer recurrence.”
Co -author Dr. Jie Yang added: “It was a moment of Eurek when we found this effect.
“Aspirin can be cheaper and more affordable than antibody therapies.”
Aspirin is a painkillers that some people also take in the long run as a blood dilution to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack.
It is very inexpensive and available to buy in no prescription stores.
Dr. Yang found that a molecule called txa2 can suppress T cells that kill cancer, a type of white blood cells.
Aspirin lowers TXA2 as part of the way it prevents blood clotting.
It has been discovered that mice with skin cancer that have received aspirin significantly less risk of cancer spread to other parts of the body.
Writing in Nature magazine, researchers said it could be because their own white blood cells of the body could kill loose tumor cells circulating in the blood.
About nine out of 10 cancer cases in humans are in patients whose disease has spread.
Cancer patients ‘should not start taking aspirin’
The reaction of scientists at the studio was mixed and warned that it was no wonder.
Professor Ruth Langley of the University College London leads the trial of Aspirin on patients with people’s cancer.
She said, “This is an important discovery, but in a small part of people aspirin can cause serious side effects, including bleeding or stomach ulcers.
“It is important to figure out what people with cancer are likely to benefit and always talk to your doctor before starting aspirin.”
Dr. Harvey Roweth, a biologist of cancer at Reading University, added: “I don’t think we can say that patients with cancer should take aspirin.
“It is promised to help patients in the future, but they will need to consider it along with existing therapies.
“Aspirin is extremely likely that it will become an independent treatment for cancer.”
