    Author: Larsson SC, Giovannucci E, Wolk A.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2006 Nov 06; 95(9):1277-9. PubMed ID: 17060932.
    Abstract:
    In a prospective cohort study of 74 250 Swedish women and men, with 7.2 years of follow-up and 705 incident colorectal cancer cases, long duration of aspirin use (>20 years) was associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (multivariate rate ratio: 0.65; 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.94). Aspirin use for a shorter period was not associated with risk.
