Cancer Research UK seem to be gearing up to recommend a daily dose of aspirin with patients getting advice from GPs and NICE (and CMO?) giving guidance to GPs.


Sarah Lyness, Director of Information at the charity Cancer Research UK, talks to ecancer at the Aspirin Foundation's 'Aspirin for the older person' meeting at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, 3rd November 2011. Given the recent research reported in news about aspirin and cancer prevention, CRUK are looking at the potential for daily doses of aspirin for ages 50-65, patient uptake of preventative aspirin, and ensuring patients are as informed as possible.
