Malignant melanoma associated with chronic once daily aspirin exposure in males

Malignant melanoma may be associated with chronic once-daily aspirin exposure in men, but not in women, according to the results of a large, single-center cohort study from the Research on Adverse Drug events And Reports (RADAR) project published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

The investigators sought to determine whether a detectable risk for malignant melanoma exists following ≥1 year of chronic aspirin use. Using RADAR methodology, the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse (NMEDW) — a large, urban, single-center, medical record data repository of information on >5 million individuals — was searched between January 2005 and December 2006.

I have been on a 80 mg aspirin since the heart stents 9 years ago, looks like I am doomed, them's the breaks eh folks. What with a LCHF diet for almost ten years, I must be the eighth wonder of the world to still be falling out of my scratcher in the morning.

Fair skinned people must have awful lot of aspirin if getting sunburnt is not the cause of melanoma!

Is epidemiology so no cause an effect link proved. Just something that need further research. Most melanomas form were the sun does not shine, they are dangerous because they can penetrate below the skin and spread. Many skin spots are classified as cancer when they are not and not all skin cancer are melanomas. Many skin spots and age dark blemish respond well with oil of oregano mixed with coconut oil. But you need to get it check with a doctor.

I have been seeing a Dermatologist for c.25 years with various lesions on my trunk due to excessive sun bathing in my youth.
If one gets sunburnt, even once, I am told a melonoma can develop.
It's well known the over use of sunbeds can contribute to skin lesions, cancers and even melonomas developing.

An Australian friend suffered from these a lot, they were caught small enough that they could be burned off. Strange that the incidence went up markedly during the infamous home in the ozone layer but they do occur in places where the sun never shines. There seems to be a link with acute burning rather than chronic sun exposure. I used to burn rather than tan until I went low carb, maybe vitamin D is a factor. So far so good though.
