Abstract A015: Molecular tumor profiling to identify mechanisms linking statin use with lower risk of lethal prostate cancer: Results from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study

Introduction: Epidemiologic data support an inverse association between statin use and risk of lethal prostate cancer, but contributing mechanisms have not been elucidated. Herein, using data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), we updated our previous analysis of statins and lethal prostate cancer with a decade of additional follow-up, and incorporated immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based biomarkers and gene expression profiling to...
