Study Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well giving acetylsalicylic acid together with eflornithine works in treating patients at high risk for colorectal cancer.

This adenoma recurrence rate for DFMO + aspirin will be compared to double placebo to see if there is improvement in the adenoma recurrence rate in this patient population.
