There are other cancers out there. People who have a cancer may be predisposed to have others.

Hi Tango,

Having one cancer increases the risk of another & this is unrelated to treatment. The increase might be related to inflammation (IMO).

The following are the number of cancer

events - rate per 1000 person- years - Aspirin (Placebo):

PCa-I {incidence} 199 (202)

PCa-D {death} 17 (17)

Colorectal-I 139 (137)

Colorectal-D 35 (20)

Brain-I 18 (9)

Brain-D 14 (9)

etc,

see table 3:
