>Part of our immune defences - a white blood cell called a T-cell - can swoop in and destroy the spreading cancer as it tries to take root.

>But the study showed that another part of our blood - the platelets that normally stop bleeding - were suppressing the T-cells and making it harder for them to take out the cancer.

>Aspirin disrupts the platelets and removes their influence over the T-cells so they can hunt out the cancer.
