Would it be accurate to say enteric coated baby aspirin reduces risk of stroke due to its blood thinning properties, but since it is anti-inflammatory, also reduces risk of atherosclerosis and now cancer?


According to this there is a link between aspirin and successfully fighting cancer: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1d4n119xr7o


That's very cool... but it is for a different reason ("Aspirin disrupts the platelets and removes their influence over the T-cells so they can hunt out the cancer.") I am curious whether aspirin also helps in another way: by reducing inflammation.
