CLEVELAND - Prevent cancer with an ingredient located right in your medicine cabinet.
A new study shows that women who take regular doses of aspirin are less likely to contract skin cancer.
The reason is because cancer is tied to inflammation and aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug.
Researchers studied more than 50,000 women between the ages of 50 and 79. This is the biggest study ever that focuses on the prevention of melanoma.
