Re: twice weekly aspirin use may decrease bc survivor's risk of metastasis by 62-71%

It is actually the full version of the article that I was able to get off the JCO website, not just the abstract.

Here is what it says word for word:

"We lack details on aspirin dose. If there is a dose response, the effect size in the current study may be diminished because frequent aspirin users may be more likely to be low-dose users attempting to prevent heart disease."

Since the effect seems to be much stronger in women who take aspirin two days a week rather than seven, there is a suggestion that it is normal dose rather than low dose aspirin matters.

Best wishes,

Christine
