Groundbreaking New Study Reveals That Statins Could Prevent Cancer

A recent study from Mass General Cancer Center reveals that statins might block a pathway involved in cancer development due to chronic inflammation, showing promise in preventing cancers associated with environmental toxins, particularly in the skin and pancreas.

Research findings show that pitavastatin suppresses skin and pancreatic cancers by inhibiting interleukin-33.
