Some cancers tend to cause blood clots.
Aspirin is supposed to prevent this.

Personally, I'd take one adult strength one instead.
I've seen too many people have strokes and heart attacks due to blood
clots, and they were on the stupid "baby aspirin" dosage kick.

It's not enough to replace Coumadin if you are subject to blood clots.

I lost a beloved family member due to that baby aspirin bullshit.

Chronic inflammation appears to be a contributing factor for cancer
(among other things). Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory.
