Nathan Goodyear on 25 Mar 14Why has this study not received major press? Study finds that 10+ year users of statin therapies have an 83% increased risk of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, a 97% increase in invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. In women with elevated cholesterol, the data gets worse. There is a 204% increased risk of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast and a 243% increased risk of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast in women with elevated lipids and on statins 10+ years. No matter how you try to slice this data, this is not good news for a large sub set of women.
