Drug Facts
| Class | Non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX-1/COX-2) inhibitor; antiplatelet at low dose |
|---|---|
| Mechanism | Irreversibly acetylates serine-530 of platelet COX-1, blocking thromboxane A2 synthesis for the platelet's lifespan (~7-10 days). Cancer-prevention rationale: COX-2 suppression in colonic mucosa reduces prostaglandin-driven adenoma growth; long-term low-dose aspirin reduces CRC incidence and mortality in Lynch syndrome (CAPP2 RCT, 10-year follow-up: ~50% reduction in colorectal cancers with 600 mg/day, durable benefit; subsequent dosing studies favor 100 mg/day for risk/benefit). |
| Typical dosing | Cancer chemoprevention (Lynch syndrome / hereditary CRC risk reduction): 81-100 mg PO daily ongoing (CAPP2 used 600 mg/day; CaPP3 ongoing dose-comparison trial supports 100 mg as effective with lower bleeding risk). Duration: ≥2 years to begin, ≥5-10 years for full benefit. Take with food. Note USPSTF 2022 withdrew prior CRC- prevention recommendation for general population (net benefit uncertain); Lynch-specific recommendation retained by InSiGHT/NCCN. |

Notes
STUB — v0.2 chemoprevention-workstream authoring; pending two-Clinical- Co-Lead signoff per CHARTER §6.1 dev-mode. CHEMOPREVENTION CONTEXT — separate entity from DRUG-ASPIRIN (which carries oncology supportive- care indications, e.g., VTE prophylaxis in lenalidomide MM). Use here reflects long-term low-dose ASA for colorectal cancer (and possibly other GI/breast/prostate) risk reduction. Strongest evidence in Lynch syndrome (CAPP2, NCT00188266; 10-year follow-up in Lancet 2020). USPSTF 2022 reversed prior 2016 grade B and now reports insufficient evidence (I statement) for routine general-population CRC chemoprevention due to bleeding-risk re-weighting (ASPREE trial). Engine should not auto-recommend without (a) confirmed Lynch / hereditary CRC risk, (b) bleeding-risk assessment, (c) shared decision-making documented. Dual cardiovascular benefit may justify use in higher-CV-risk patients with hereditary CRC.
