There were several articles I always wanted to see published before we moved on to other things.

Statins, Diet, and Dietary Supplements for Prostate Cancer: A Potential Connection and Recommendation Based on ProbabilityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Statins or cholesterol-lowering drugs seem to be the ideal next choice for a large chemoprevention or adjuvant trial in prostate cancer for numerous reasons, including 1) cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the number one cause of death in men and women every year in the United States since 1900; 2) CVD has been the number one cause of death in the major cancer chemoprevention trials; 3) there seems to be a high rate of dyslipidemia in men that attend prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening studies; 4) CVD has been the number one or two cause of death of men postdiagnosis and posttreatment of localized prostate cancer;...
