Statin Use Is Associated with Lower Risk of PTEN-Null and Lethal Prostate Cancer

Purpose: Statins are associated with lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer, but lethal prostate cancer is understudied and contributing mechanisms are unclear. We prospectively examined statins and lethal prostate cancer risk in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), tested associations with molecular subtypes, and integrated gene expression profiling to identify putative mechanisms. Experimental Design: Our study included 44,126...
