The statins as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/bjgp.org\/content\/60\/571\/121.short\">cholesterol<\/a> levels were both associated with lower colon cancer odd, however highlighting which is really responsible has been daunting, this was explained by the researchers of a University in Pennsylvania during an interview.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>The comparison test between cholesterol and colon cancer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>They did a comparison test with statins and cholesterol levels in over 22,000 patients in Great Britain with colon cancer as well as more than 85,000 people without the said diseases. The results have determined and concluded the diagnosis from the past studies that showed a lower risk of colon cancer in patients who are taking statins. However, the risk wasn\u2019t important at all between those who use statins and those who stopped taking the pills.\u00a0 Even if the person has a high cholesterol level, the lower the colon cancer risk is for patients, this is regardless of the statin use, according to the new study found. The researchers have found out as well that a hard to explain dropping in the cholesterol levels a year before the cancer has been diagnosed; it was still linked to a boost in the odd of cancer in both the statin users as well as non-users. However, the study didn\u2019t prove that if the cholesterol levels bring colon cancer odd to rise, it will only show a link between the 2.<\/p>\n<p>The results that were posted online on the 26<sup>th<\/sup> of April in a journal, bids that the cholesterol levels as well as the non-statins might affect the colon cancer risk. There shows to be an unnatural security effect of the statins, this is in accordance to the author of the study Dr. Mamtani during a University news interview.\u00a0 Even if the possibility of having colorectal cancer is lower with statins vs. the non-users, when you compare those who went on with the treatment vs. those who stopped the treatment, every group will share similar indication for the statin use, there was no difference in terms of the risk, he added.\u00a0 The findings bid that the cholesterol levels may have helped in detecting colon cancer early on, this is in accordance to the researchers. Along the way, the data showed a composite link between the statins, colon cancer and cholesterol, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The researchers have found out as well that a hard to explain dropping in the cholesterol levels a year before the cancer has been diagnosed; it was still linked to a boost in the odd of cancer in both the statin users as well as non-users.
