Too low cholesterol levels may increase the risk of cancer----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- The latest issue of the American College of Cardiology Weekly The article pointed out that lowering cholesterol levels as much as possible may reduce the risk of heart disease, but at a price, because low cholesterol levels may increase the risk of cancer. The author of the paper, Dr. Richard Callas of the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, USA, and his colleagues found that patients with very low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or so-called bad cholesterol) are slightly higher than those with LDL. Compared with patients, the prevalence of cancer is one in a thousand. The results of this study did not show that cholesterol-lowering statins themselves cause cancer, but patients taking these drugs are at a higher risk of developing cancer.
Dr. Callas said that they did not directly contact patients, but instead used a "summary analysis" method to study the case of about 41,100 patients taking 23 statins. "The facts show that the benefits of statins in reducing the risk of heart disease are obvious; however, the use of statins to lower LDL is still controversial in some areas and needs further research." New York State University Southern Medical Dr. John La Rosa, a statin expert at the Center, commented in the American College of Cardiology Weekly: "Be cautious about this kind of thing, because someone will stop taking these drugs for fear of cancer. Death from heart disease.†Statins are one of the world's best-selling drugs, generating billions of dollars in revenue for manufacturers. These drugs can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition, there is evidence that these drugs have other unexpected benefits, such as reducing the risk of death from influenza, pneumonia and smoking. Experts believe that some of the benefits of statins may stem from the therapeutic effects of drugs on inflammation in the body. However, patients with very low cholesterol levels may be at higher risk for Parkinson's disease than those with normal cholesterol levels. In addition, statins can cause damage to the liver and muscles. The research of Callas has caused another worry about statins: cancer. But La Rosa said that even though statins increase the risk of cancer, the overall risk is still relatively low. In comparison, the risk of heart disease is much more critical. ——Midi Medical Network
