Does Aspirin improve response to radiotherapy for rectal cancer (ASPIRE)
21 January 2016
This study is looking to see if anti inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin help radiotherapy to work better. It is for people having radiotherapy as part of their treatment before surgery for rectal cancer (a type of bowel cancer).
The study is observational and does not require you to change your current medication but will look at groups of patients based on what medication they were taking at the time of diagnosis. Ask your surgeon if you are eligible for inclusion in the ASPIRE study.
