TumMeta, Cancer Metastasis: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Cancer metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from the original (primary) tumor to other parts of the body, forming new (secondary) tumors. This occurs when cancer cells invade surrounding tissues, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and travel to distant organs or tissues.

- Review, Var, NA
TumMeta↓, The included studies demonstrated that aspirin suppresses metastatic dissemination across multiple cancer types through coordinated platelet-dependent and tumor-intrinsic mechanisms.
COX1↓, Aspirin consistently inhibited platelet aggregation and COX-1-dependent TXA2 production, disrupting platelet–tumor cell interactions, intravascular metastatic niche formation, and platelet-mediated immune suppression.
TXA2↓,
AntiAg↑, Beyond platelet effects, aspirin suppressed EMT, migration, and invasion through modulation of EMT transcriptional regulators and inflammatory signaling pathways.
EMT↓,
TumCMig↓,
TumCI↓,
AMPK↑, Additional mechanisms included activation of AMPK, inhibition of c-MYC signaling, regulation of redox-responsive pathways and impairment of anoikis resistance.
cMyc↓,
PGE2↓, Importantly, oral aspirin (20 mg/kg/day; human-equivalent ≈ 150 mg/day), administered before tumor cell injection, prevented platelet-induced metastatic enhancement and suppressed TXA2 and PGE2 production.
Dose↑, medium and high doses of aspirin reduced pulmonary metastatic burden by more than 50%, whereas low-dose aspirin was ineffective.
RadioS↑, Wang et al. [45] demonstrated that low-dose aspirin suppresses radiotherapy-induced release of immunosuppressive exosomes in breast cancer, restoring NK-cell proliferation and enhancing antitumor immunity in vivo.
PD-L1↓, Similarly, Xiao et al. [46] showed that aspirin epigenetically downregulates PD-L1 expression by inhibiting KAT5-dependent histone acetylation, thereby restoring T-cell activation

5408- ASA,    An aspirin a day keeps cancer at bay
- Review, Var, NA
TumMeta↓, It has long been hypothesised that aspirin prevents cancer deaths by preventing metastasis.
TXA2↓, A recent study demonstrates this to be mediated through inhibition of Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) leading to reversal of suppression of T cell immunity.
*AntiAg↑, It was therefore hypothesised [3, 5] that aspirin prevents cancer metastasis, very likely through its anti-platelet action but the exact mechanism of action remained unclear.
COX1↓, anti-platelet activity through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) remains the main plausible mechanism.

5409- ASA,    Role of aspirin in cancer prevention
- Review, Var, NA
Imm↑, It was proved that aspirin showed advantages in immunomodulation, cell metabolism, gene repair, reduction of inflammatory reaction, anti-platelet activation and improvement of intestinal flora.

*GutMicro↑,
eff↑, combination of aspirin and existing anti-tumor drugs also showed some synergistic effects.
TumMeta↓, The results showed that the aspirin group decreased the rate of distant metastasis, especially for colorectal cancer [3].
angioG↓, Studies have shown that aspirin can bind directly to the GLU150(Q9y251: Glu 225) region to inhibit heparanase activity and regulate related signalling pathways, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and tumour metastasis [4].
Risk↓, A study published in the JAMA Network Open suggested that frequent aspirin use (defined as daily or almost daily use for 6 months or longer) was associated with a 13 % lower risk of ovarian cancer, and this protective association was not affected by
Risk↓, 1982 to 2009, and it was found that compared with non-aspirin users, men who take aspirin regularly (more than three tablets per week) have a lower risk of fatal prostate cancer.

5402- ASA,    Aspirin prevents metastasis by limiting platelet TXA2 suppression of T cell immunity
- Review, Var, NA
COX1↓, Here we show that inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1), including aspirin, enhance immunity to cancer metastasis by releasing T cells from suppression by platelet-derived thromboxane A2 (TXA2).
TumMeta↓, Moreover, low-dose (75–300 mg) aspirin treatment is associated with a reduction in the rate of cancer death in individuals without metastasis at the time of cancer diagnosis
*Half-Life↓, Aspirin has a short half-life (around 20 min), such that only frequent high doses of aspirin can achieve sustained pharmacological inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 in nucleated cells
