Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent experimental research on a class of pharmacological agents that reduce plasma cholesterol, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), has shown promise in pancreatic cancer chemoprevention. While the mechanism remains unclear, several epidemiological studies have also evaluated the relationship between statin use and pancreatic cancer. Our aim was to examine the strength of this association through a...
