Statin Use May Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk

[Deepwater]

The Orlando Sentinel (3/12, Shrieves) reported, "Men who take statins -- one type of cholesterol-lowering drugs -- may be 60 percent less likely to be diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer, according to a" study of "patient files from the Veteran Affairs New England Healthcare System." Investigators identified 55,875 patients using either a statin or a blood pressure drug. Investigators found that "men taking statins were 30 percent less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than those on anti-hypertensive medication" and that "statin users also were 60 percent less likely to be diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer."
