Statins Have No Breast Cancer Protective Effect

It was widely believed by the scientific community until now that the popular group of cholesterol lowering drugs called statins, have a protective effect against cancer. Previous studies have shown that these drugs may protect you from various cancers including breast cancer. Now this belief is being shattered by the publication of two large studies which showed no cancer protective effect for this popular group cholesterol lowering drugs.

It's interesting to note that Sherin has posted another study with the same negative findings in October 2005. This study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine studied 79,000 women who participated in the Nurses' Health Study. This study suggested that the beneficial effect of statins on breast cancer observed in experimental studies may not be applicable to humans.

Now two more studies have shown that statins offer no protective effect against developing or dying from cancer. A new meta-analysis of 26 studies involving 87,000 patients has concluded that statins do not lower the risk of developing cancer or dying from cancer. Statins had absolutely no impact on cancer as per the article published in Journal of the American Medical Association.

In another study organized by the American Cancer Society, researchers, reviewed data on more than 130,000 patients from the United States and found that statins have no effect on colon cancer. The findings from this team of researchers are published in the latest issue of Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
