No. The benefits of taking aspirin and NSAIDs regularly need to be balanced against the risks of long-term use: for example long-term aspirin use has been found to cause stomach ulcers and bleeding of the stomach lining. For this reason, until more research has been carried out, aspirin and NSAIDs cannot be recommended as a long-term preventive treatment for breast cancer.
