A member asked:

Why is aspirin supposed to be uncoated for melanoma prevention?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not true: Stanford study showed that postmenopausal women had a lower incidence of melanoma. This was only an association between aspirin and the reduced risk for melanoma, not that aspirin actually helped prevent it. Possible that aspirin's anti-inflammatory properties responsible for lowering the risk. of melanoma. Other studies did not hold up
