Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found evidence in mice that aspirin can potentially prevent cancer from spiraling out of control.

In mice, aspirin seemed to unlock certain aspects of the immune system that make it better at stopping cancers trying to spread elsewhere in the body, also known as metastasis.

The findings indicate that aspirin and similar drugs could be turned into preventative treatments for high-risk cancer patients.
