'Estrogen is involved in the pathogenesis of breast and gynecological cancers. Regular use of aspirin reduces estrogen levels.' 
'Since low doses of aspirin may decrease estradiol levels, it could be considered a promising adjunctive therapeutic candidate in postmenopausal women to decrease BC incidence. However, further studies with larger sample sizes, measurements of estrogen levels and its related compounds in different time points accompanied by long-term follow-ups are needed to better elucidate the potential mechanisms by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) negatively affect breast cancer.'

We strive to avoid primary sources in biomedical articles, and results of small academic studies rarely merit inclusion in an encyclopaedia. — kashmīrī TALK 13:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Besides, what you proposed would be a WP:SYNTH – because the cited Iranian study does not link aspirin with cancer (but with estrogen levels only), and yet you make such a claim in Wikipedia voice. — kashmīrī TALK 13:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Not regarding estrogen, but here's a review Exploratory Review of the Role of Statins, Colchicine, and Aspirin for the Prevention of Radiation‐Associated Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality | Journal of the American Heart Association so in addition to mentioned in the article benefits, there is a fresh potential. Shouldn't this be included as a source? Xobbitua (talk) 09:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

The "Formulations" section has a "needs expansion" orange banner: is this still valid?
There is uncited text in the article.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 14:35, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
