Can aspirin help prevent esophageal cancer in barret's tissue?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: The results are not conclusive, but there may be prevention of dysplasia with Aspirin in patients that have barrett's esophagus. If there is no contraindication to taking aspirin, i would recommend taking a baby Aspirin every day or on alternate days.

No: No, only by preventing acid reflux will help to heal the ulcer , and possibly prevent malignant transformation , Aspirin may precipitate bleeding
