Are There Any Medications or Supplements That Act as Protective Agents?
Some medications and supplements have been studied for their potential protective effects. For example, aspirin has been shown to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer when taken regularly, although its use should be discussed with a healthcare provider due to potential side effects. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements have been linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers, including breast and colorectal cancer.
