An aspirin a day could help women avoid ovarian cancer

Aspirin could do more than protect your heart. Researchers say it could also help against one form of cancer.

A new study found that taking one low-dose aspirin a day could help women avoid ovarian cancer.

Researchers believe it also helps women beat ovarian cancer if they develop it.
