Women who take aspirin at least three times a week may decrease their risk of the disease by as much as 40-percent. But, researchers also warn extended use of aspirin carries risks, including ulcers. Still, this study's results parallel previous research on the preventative powers of aspirin for heart disease and cancers of the colon. It's believed aspirin reduces chronic inflammation, which may be related to ovarian cancer. If you're a married man and you smoke, you may be putting you wife's life in danger.
