Taking certain pain relievers may lower a woman's risk for breast cancer, according to a large review of data.
Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like Aspirin and Advil, were shown to lower the risk for breast cancer by 12 percent, compared to non-users. This is according a review of 38 studies including over 2 million women.
While the results were promising, researchers are not ready to recommend pain relievers as a preventative measure for breast cancer, saying there are potential faults with the study method.
