Longer-term aspirin use and subsequent ovarian cancer risk in the Ovarian Cancer Cohort Consortium.

International journal of epidemiology ·doi:10.1093/ije/dyag019

BackgroundObservational studies have reported lower ovarian cancer risk among individuals taking aspirin frequently (i.e. daily/near daily). However, most studies relied on a single assessment of aspirin use, which may have led to misclassi…

Modification of the Association Between Frequent Aspirin Use and Ovarian Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis Using Individual-Level Data From Two Ovarian Cancer Consortia

Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology ·doi:10.1200/jco.21.01900

PURPOSE: Frequent aspirin use has been associated with reduced ovarian cancer risk, but no study has comprehensively assessed for effect modification. We leveraged harmonized, individual-level data from 17 studies to examine the association…
