chan, the "lancet" is pretty straightforward.rticles conclude regular use of aspirin reduces the long-term risk of several cancers. what numbers did they crunch from already existing aspirin studies to come to that conclusion? >> well, what the authors did was they looked at a series of clinical trials that were conducted in the '80s and '90s and through the 2000s to look at the use of aspirin in the prevention of vascular disease and what they did was looked at cancer outcomes in those particular trials and also linked those trials to cancer registries in the united kingdom. and what they found was that the individuals that were in the study that were randomized to the treatment of aspirin did have a lower risk of dying from cancer over time. >> suarez: now, are we talking among the several thousand people they were watching about a few... >>ight. >> suarez: less often occurring cases of cancer or are we talking about a significant in effect that population? >> no, we're seeing pretty significant effects. i think overall they sa

on february 2, 2010, the "lancet" retracted wakefield's landmark 1998 paper, saying it was scientifically flawed. scientists around the world had not been able to replicate wakefield's findings. and it turned out that some of the kids in his small study had been referred by a lawyer who was suing pharmaceutical manufacturers on the children's behalf. but in the wake of the retraction, organizations like generation rescue came out in strong support of wakefield, continuing to believe in his science. soon after, parents of autistic children who brought class- action lawsuits based on the mmr and thimerosal theories had their hopes dashed by the federal vaccine court. >> and good evening to you. we begin with a ruling that affects millions of parents with children who have autism. families who went to a federal court over these vaccines were told that their case was "without scientific or legal merit." >> narrator: the vaccine court that barbara loe fisher's organization had helped set up issued a strongly worded ruling on march 12, 2010, denying a link between autism and vaccines. >> scient

a series of papers in the lancet medical journal drawing on data from more than 50 different studies suggest a daily dose cuts cancer death and reduces the risk of the disease spreading. joining me from oxford is the report's lead author, professor peter rothwell. it's a bit of a wonder drug we've always felt in any case, but what does this latest finding tell you? >> the main finding is that aspirin seems to reduce the spread of cancer, where cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. that's important, because that's often the way cancer kills people, by spreading to the brain, the lungs, the liver, and we found that in people in trials who have been taking aspirin when we looked at detail at their medical records, they were about 30% to 40% less likely to have had cancers that spread around the body. >> right, does it have to be a case where cancer has been detected in any case to start using aspirin and to gain the benefit of that, or is this something we should all be taking as a matter of course on a daily basis? >> those are two very different issues. we've shown that aspi

an analysis today in the journal the "lancet" says people who took aspirin everyday for more than fivereduced that risk by 37%. it really caught our attention last month when the f.d.a. issued a warning about vials of a popular cancer drug that turned out to be fakes. the vials, labeled avastin, contained a liquid that was worthless. we wondered who would sell a fake drug to cancer patients and where the counterfeit vials came from. so we asked armen keteyian to follow the trail. >> reporter: avastin is a lifeline in the fight against cancer. five million vials were sold in the u.s. last year. dr. james fire heads the n.y.u. langone cancer center. >> we use avastin in conversation with other chemotherapies and then some cancers in some of these colon, lung and renal cancers it changes the race of response and may change survival. >> reporter: the only avastin approved by the food and drug administration for use in the united states is manufactured in the united states by genentech. as many as 19 medical practices in the u.s. purchase this avastin that turned out to be from outside this

but three articles, looking at hundreds of thousands of people in the journal "lancet" really talk now about the fact that the benefits far outweigh the risks for use of low-dose daily aspirin. either baby aspirin or one single aspirin. >> what kind of cancer specifically? >> we've known about colorectal cancer for a long time. now they're also saying cancer of the esophagus, stomach, breast and lungs. so if you look at those, the chance of dying from those, is 15% less than the average population, and it nearly downsize stomach upset and some bleeding. and frankly, after three years, those risks go away. i think increasingly doctors are going to sit with their patients and do what doctors have been doing and consider a daily aspirin. >> a stunning development for a pill -- >> at least talk to your physician about it. >> dr. nancy synderman thank you so much this morning. now let's get a check of the mornings's other top stories from natalie morales at the news desk. hey, natalie. >> good morning to you, ann. good morning, everyone. new details this morning about the u.s. soldier accus

this, according to new studies in the british medical journal, "the lancet." and the headline here, taking one asprin a day for five year, cut the overall risk of dying from cancer by 15%. should we start taking aspirin? dr. karen latimer joins us now. it says that people who took aspirin an aspirin every day, less likely to get cancer, to have their cancer spread, to die from cancer. should we all start taking aspirin? >> well, wait a minute. the study is huge. it's completely impressive because it gives a huge body of evidence, the first to say there is possibly a very positive link between aspirin and cancer. but i do think it has to shake out, and people have to consider a lot of things before they just start popping asprin every day. >> looking at specific types of cancer, breast cancer in the foreground. so important for so many millions of women. can it help there? >> it's interesting. at first pass, when you look at the studies, it's looking at gastrointestinal cancer. but if you look a little closer, there is some hope for breast cancer. and i think i

and this is -- two studies out in lancet and, it is phenomenal and they traced cancer back from the 1950s look at patients who got aspirin and those who didn't. and the author wrote and said, we have an ability in great britain to really track over 100,000 patients like this. and he found, they found that there was a 35% decrease in colon cancer, incidence of that if you were on aspirin and more surprising, it didn't spread if you had it. a 35 to 40% decrease in cancer spreading once you had it. and 1 15% decrease of dying fro that and other gi tract cancers and it moves my needle totally in the direction and i will not go to the patients and say take as aspirins to prevent cancer but for patients i'm considering for heart sees an stroke prevention, people at risk, i'm definitely, more conscious -- >> eric: what if you are not at risk, an average person, when should you take the low dose. >> i would probably say, over the age of 50 but i will not tell everybody over there, over the age of 50 to take it. some people have confounding factors, risk of a bleed, had an you per and i don't want

lancet looked at more than 50 studies from 1950 all the way to 2011. they looked at over a hundred thousand patients and they found a 38% decrease in colon cancer, gastrointestinal cancer in patients taking aspirin. megyn: decrease in it even starting. >> reporter: it even starting. and 35% less spread of cancer once you've already had it, which has never been studied before. if you already have cancer and take an aspirin it was 35% less likely that it would spread and 15% less likely that you would die for it. this is an extraordinary finding because we finished telling people and warning people out there that aspirin can cause more bleeding than we thought. how do you put this all together? if it's an individual patient say to your doctor, what is the benefit, what is the risk. megyn: when we talk about the bleeding risk? if you get cut you're going to bleed a lot, if you have surgery you're going to bleed out, what do you mean. >> reporter: we are most worried about gastrointestinal leads that will land you in the hospital. i'm not so concerned with

this study in "the lancet," regular low dose aspirin consumption reduced the risk of cancer. >> we have that people with a chance of colon cancer with such drugs it reduces the chance of polyps. and i have been talking about this for years, that in fact you should be taking aspirin. i take an aspirin every day. >> did you say advil, though? it's different, right? it's regular aspirin. >> they work in similar ways to reduce inflammation. and affect the glands. and so we have had this suspicion a long time. it's important to take aspirin for your -- if you're in the right category for your heart to reduce heart disease. lots of people have the suspicion about cancer, and this is an important confirmatory study. >> who is the category? male, females? o should take aspirin every day? >> first of all, you have to make sure you don't have other health problems that can be exacerbated by aspirin. because it does slow bleeding down, so that's an important issue. you should not be someone at risk for bleeding in any way. but the obvious, most important answer to that question, mika, you have to
