Abstract:
Hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A inhibitors (‘statins’) are carcinogenic in rodents and an increased incidence of breast cancer was reported among pravastin users in one randomized trial. We conducted a case-control study in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) to evaluate the risk of breast cancer among 50- to 79-year-old women treated with statins for hyperlipidemia. Case and control women were matched by age, general practice, duration of prescription...

Abstract:
Breast cancer incidence rates in the UK from 1990 to 1996 among women aged 35-69 estimated from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) were closely similar to those reported by the Office for National Statistics from cancer registration data (ONS). The GPRD is a valuable and up-to-date resource for further study of the incidence of breast cancer in the UK as well ...
