[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 18920, member: 3"] I guess statins provide benefits to these advanced prostate cancer patients. [B]Statins May Have Slowed Advanced Prostate Cancer Growth by 10 Months[/B] When starting androgen deprivation therapy, advanced prostate cancer patients who were taking statins—popular cholesterol-lowering heart drugs—experienced 10 more months of cancer control, according to data published in [I]JAMA Oncology[/I]. “The surprising aspect was how dramatic the difference was in patients receiving statins,” Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Hematology and Oncology Fellow Jorge Ramos, D.O., told [I]Drug Discovery & Development.[/I] Ramos was uninvolved in the new study. Lab work done by a team from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute suggested a key reason may be that statins latch on to the same transporter receptors on prostate cancer cells as testosterone, blocking it. Since testosterone fuels prostate cancer, tumor growth slows.
