אספיריןAspirin Stunts Tumor Growth

Aspirin Stunts Tumor Growth By Reducing Blood Vessel Formation כפי שמתואר במאמר, אפשר לחשב את האספירין ככלי נוסף לטיפול אנטיסרטני. מכיוון שיש בו מרכיבים מדללי דם, השאלה לדר' ברנר - האם אפשר לערבב אותו אם פרוטוקול באדוויג וכמוסות שמן דגים אשר גם גורמות לדילול הדם? יש לבצע בדיקות קרישה? היית ממליץ להשתמש פאספירין ואים כן, באיזה מינון? Main Category: Cancer / Oncology News Article Date: 05 Oct 2006 - 11:00am (PDT) | email this article | printer friendly | view OR write opinions | Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) could stunt tumor growth by stopping the formation of blood vessels which nourish tumors, say researchers from Institute of Human Genetics, University of Newcastle, UK. You can read about this new study in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Aspirin, used to treat pain, is also used to protect from heart attack. Previous studies had indicated that aspirin probably has some cancer protecting qualities. The researchers in this study wanted to find out what the possible mechanisms behind these preventative qualities were. The scientists wanted to observe how aspirin affects tumor growth by adding it to endothelial cells. Endothelial cells are involved in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). They found that quite low concentrations of aspirin significantly undermined their ability to form blood vessels. Tumors need blood vessels for oxygen AND nutrients - without them they cannot grow. Cancer also uses blood vessels to spread to different parts of the body. The scientists found that aspirin restricts the blood supply to the tumor - in effect, not allowing it to grow bigger than a pea. The researchers believe this discovery could lead the way to new cancer treatments. The problem with aspirin in its present form is that long-term intake can lead to serious gastric bleeding. The team wants to look at the molecular targets of aspirin - the parts of it that stop the formation of new blood vessels - AND see if safer drugs can be developed. In other words, create drugs that combat cancer but don't cause gastric bleeding.

למה כשיש כל כך הרבה פתרונות לא פחות טובים, אתה רוצה להשתמש בתרופה שקשורה בסיכונים לדימומים ולשבץ (אספירין הוא ממשפחת ה -NSAIDS כמו וויוקס אדוויל ושאר המסוכנים) בשביל מה לחפש צרות? יש כל כך הרבה תחליפים לזה, ללא הסיכון.
