Jules. I cant say if the anti cancer action of Aspirin and Ibuprofen etc (NSAID drugs) is due to decrease of inflammation but it is very likely. Inflammation (chronic) seems to be a potent carcinogen over many years. There are many examples but a good one might be bladder cancer in Egypt. In the past many Egyptians living near the Nile river would get a worm disease called Bhilzariasis (spelling-Im close) and the eggs from the worms would irritate the bladder wall. After many years of this, bladder ca ncer was often evident. This is one example.

Cancer has been described as a "wound that wont heal" and with wounds there is infllammation. Interestingly the Over the Counter supplement known as Pycnegenol in a dosage of say 100mg twice daily decreases inflammation. You can measure this by the C-Reactive protein levels which is the main marker of inflammation.
