I beleive this was the report , prof
http://www.medicalnew...m/articles/189551.php
It looks like there were no risks associated with the medications with respect to cancer, from the extract below
However the increased risks identified, was what had concerned me ( reading it again ) - i.e serious liver dysfunction / renal failure
extract
'' They found there was no noteworthy link between use of individual statins and risk of Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, venous thrombo-embolism, dementia, osteoporotic fracture, or many cancers including gastric, colon, lung, renal, breast or prostate. There was a reduced risk associated with statin use for oesophageal cancer.
However, they did detect an increased risk associated with statins use for:
* Moderate or serious liver dysfunction
* Moderate or serious acute renal failure
* Moderate to serious myopathy
* Cataracts
* And evidence of a dose response for acute renal failure and liver dysfunction with higher doses being associated with greater risk ''
Whats your opinion on the report , particularly , the serious problems identified ?
