A study in the United States showed that taking ibuprofen can reduce the chances of getting breast cancer in women at high risk of the disease, reports The Daily Mail.

The work led by Amy Degnim, a breast cancer surgeon from a clinic in Minnesota, has led scientists to conclude that taking anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen or naproxen, can protect against breast cancer by significantly reducing the risk of this cancer.

In particular, says Dr. Amy Degnim, the use of these drugs is effective in reducing the risk of breast cancer after a benign breast biopsy..

Her research team examined 3089 women who had breast cancer between 1992 and 2001.. Previously, these participants underwent a biopsy, which confirmed the benignity of the examined tissues.. Nevertheless, the likelihood of getting breast cancer in the future was estimated for women as high.

As a result, 313 women developed breast cancer.

Scientists have found that women who took anti-inflammatory drugs after a biopsy were significantly better protected against breast cancer. Specifically, those study participants who used ibuprofen or naproxen showed an approximately 40 percent reduction in breast cancer risk..

In turn, women who used aspirin had no reduction in the risk of breast cancer..
