People who take aspirin tablets or similar painkillers on a regular basis cut their risk of developing skin cancer ? including the most deadly type ? malignant melanoma ? by about 15%, research suggests.
In the study, approximately 18,000 of the 200,000 participants had been diagnosed with of one of three types of skin cancer ? basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or the rarer but more dangerous malignant melanoma. The researchers looked at the medical records of the individuals to calculate how many had been prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen over an eight-year period, BBC reported.
Those who were more frequently prescribed NSAIDs were less likely to have skin cancer.
Besides, the higher the dose and the longer a person had been on the medication, the greater the protective effect.
However, experts say using sunscreen and avoiding too much sun are still the best ways to prevent skin cancer.
