How Statins Help Prevent Cancer

Researcher Donald Mcdonnell, PhD explains how statins are believed to prevent cancer. He explains that statins work by lowering cholesterol levels, which can help to reduce the risk of cancer. Statins are most effective at preventing cancer in people who are obese or have high cholesterol levels, but statins may be helpful for people already diagnosed with cancer, as they can help to slow the growth of the tumor and improve survival rates.
