Study shows aspirin can reduce colorectal cancer recurrence by 58% in patients with specific gene mutations.

A new study at the 2025 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium shows that using aspirin for three years can significantly lower the risk of colorectal cancer recurrence in patients with specific gene mutations, reducing recurrence by up to 58%. The ALASCCA trial, involving 626 patients across Northern European hospitals, found aspirin especially effective for those with PIK3CA and PIK3R1/PTEN mutations. This study could change how doctors treat nearly a third of early-stage colorectal cancer patients.
