Prostate cancer: Statins reduce mortality risk

摘要

The latest, and the largest, study to date on the effects of statin use on outcomes for patients with prostate cancer shows reductions in the risk of cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. In this population-based retrospective cohort study, data regarding statin use before and after the diagnosis of nonmetastatic prostate cancer were collected for 11,772 men in the UK.
