If some metastatic cells use platelets as a physical shield, does that mean that drugs like Aspirine which inhibit platelets aggregation can be used for preventive purposes to delay the metastasis ? Do you have any idea if there is any study supporting this claim ?
thank you for your comment, it is not really clear if taking aspirin can significantly lower the chances of metastasis because platelet aggregation is only one of the factors, however here there is a review about this: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0152402
I can see that there is hope indeed but unfortunately not enough evidence.If someone got cancer and if aspirin has any chance of reducing metastasis , i say he goes for it especially taking low dose aspirine has few drawbacks ! anyway, i enjoyed your article, great work ;)
Thank you!
