Yes/no: There are studies suggesting that daily Aspirin reduces the risk of polyps and colorectal cancer. Remember, though, that Aspirin has side effects so discuss it with your doc before starting. Healthy eating and exercise may reduce the risk of getting cancer as well. Finally, you may need to see a specialist in cancer genetics to see if you need genetic testing and/or other risk reduction...
