Anybody with family history of cancer should start aspirin immediately. I always believed the risks were too high however I have just had an immediate family member diagnosed.
I will begin at 300mg tablets once daily until a genetic condition is ruled out, where I will then drop down to 300mg 2-3x a week.
Relevant evidence:
The recommended dose of aspirin for CRC prevention for the high-risk population is 80–1200 mg/day. In contrast, NSAIDs for CRC prevention is not recommended in either the general population or the high-risk population due to the toxicity profile of NSAIDs
Using aspirin and NSAIDs in the long term risks major gastrointestinal bleeding or heart attack from selective COX-2 inhibitors. Because of these side effects, the American Cancer Association does not recommend aspirin or NSAIDs in the general population.
