Taking a low dose (劑量 ) of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer, fresh evidence suggests. Prof. Peter Rothwell, from Oxford University, and his colleagues, who carried out the latest work, had already linked aspirin with a lower risk of certain cancers, particularly bowel(腸) cancer. But their previous work suggested people needed to take the drug for about 10 years to get any protection. Now the protective effect occurs much sooner— within three to five years— based on a new analysis of data from 51 trials involving more than 77,000 patients. And aspirin appears not only to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers in the first place, but may also stop cancers spreading around the body. Taking a low (75 — 300mg) daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25 % after only three years— there were nine cancer cases per 1,000 each year in the aspirintaking group, pared with 12 per 1,000 for those taking dummy pills. It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15% within five years (and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg). And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer, their cancer death risk went down even further— by 37% after five years. Lowdose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers, particularly bowel, would spread to other parts of the body, and by as much as half in some instances. However, Prof. Rothwell says for most fit and healthy people, the most important things they can do to reduce their lifetime cancer risk is to give up smoking, take exercise and have a healthy diet. But experts warn that there is still not enough proof to remend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths and warn that the drug can cause dangerous side effects like stomach bleeding. Prof. Peter Johnson of Cancer Research UK, along with other experts, said it was still a good idea that people thinking of taking aspirin should first consult their doctors because of the possible side effect. And people should get some decisive advice from the government as to whether aspirin should be remended more widely and the government should also advise the public about the benefits and risks of aspirin. In recent years some universities have put a series of weird questions to the applicants in their interviews of the independent enrollment, causing a stir among the students and society. They have sharply divided opinions. 參考答案 聽力 CCBAA ACBBC CABAB BAACB 單選 BCDCD CCBAA CABDA 完形 CBADD BACAC BDDBA CBADC 閱讀 BBDBB CDAAA DABAC 任務(wù)型閱讀 kill /relieve /release / reduce / remove ; heart ; side ; bleeding ; quarter/ fourth 。 Aspirin Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has been used for many years as a painkiller.
