Statins + Radiotherapy

PostAuthor: Manuel » Tue May 25, 2010 2:55 am

Improved biochemical outcomes with statin use in patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy -

Statin use during high-dose RT for clinically localized prostate cancer was associated with a significant improvement in PRFS in high-risk patients. These data suggest that statins have anticancer activity and possibly provide radiosensitization when used in conjunction with RT in the treatment of prostate cancer.
