Taking statins may increase cancer risk

Nigel Hawkes, Health Editor
Lowering cholesterol with statins may slightly increase the risk of cancer, a study suggests.

It is not clear whether the cancer cases are caused by the drugs, or are a consequence of the low levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol produced by taking them.

The result, which amounts to one extra case of cancer for every 1,000 patients treated, surprised the researchers who discovered it. They were looking for new evidence on the known side-effects of statins on the liver and muscle wasting.

“This analysis doesn’t implicate the statin in increasing the risk of cancer,” said the study leader, Professor Richard Karas, of Tufts University School of Medicine, in Boston. “The demonstrated benefits of statins in lowering the risk of heart disease remain clear. However, certain aspects of lowering LDL with statins remain controversial and merit further research.”
