Taking aspirin reduces number of cancers in lynch syndrome- scientific fact. A world-wide study in which people with lynch syndrome took 600mg a day for 2 years showed a 50%+ reduction in the number of cancers identified after 5 years and the effect continued.

There is now an ongoing study called CaPP3 which is to determine the optimum dose of aspirin to achieve this effect. They are testing 3 different doses 100mg, 300mg and 600mg. Whilst recruiting world-wide, the study is run out of Newcastle University, UK.
