By what mechanism would aspirin affect cancer? Aspirin is an antiinflammatory drug, which also happens to irreversibly bind to blood platelets. This means it is a good analgesic and antipyretic, and good against preventing platelet aggregation (i.e. clot formation).
There are hundreds of different types of cancer, each with their own genetic variability. There has been barely any improvement in cancer treatment in the last 30 years and it is expected to become the #1 cause of death soon, replacing cardiovascular disease.
I believe an improvement can be made by shifting the focus a bit from genetics to the metabolic aspects of the disease. Ketogenic diets with <10g of carbohydrates a day should be explored as an adiuvant treatment of almost any cancer.
