In addition to protective effects on the cardiovascular system, statins may reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence owing to potential anti-inflammatory benefits. A retrospective study in Taiwan investigated the association of statin use with cancer- and noncancer-associated survival. The cohort study of 14,902 breast cancer patients showed that compared with nonusers, statin users had a significantly lower risk of all-cause and cancer-related death.
