There's some new research hitting all the papers right now showing that a low dose of aspirin (usually 81mg) is remarkably effective at preventing certain cancers. The numbers are staggering, nearly 40% reduction of risk for prostate cancer, etc.
Studies like this aren't often done because there's no pharamsuitical company pushing for them to happen; Aspirin is a cheap generic drug.
Here's a Wall Street Journal Article with a summary of the results. Really interesting stuff.
"After three years of daily aspirin use, the risk of cancer was reduced by about 25%, with both men and women benefiting in roughly equal amounts. Risk reduction continued to improve, to 37%, for patients who had been taking aspirin for five years or more."
