Low Dose Aspirin for the Prevention of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.

Exclusion Criteria - Pre-Registration:

  • History of breast cancer including ductal breast carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
  • Received systemic treatment for any other cancer at any time.
  • Currently taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (no doses within ≤ 5 days prior to pre-registration and no more than four doses within ≤ 30 days prior to pre-registration).
