Statins or HMG - CoA reductase inhibitors include simvastatin , atorvastatin, fluvastatin , lovastatin , pitavastatin , pravastatin, rosuvastatin and . These lower cholesterol especially helping to produce enzyme inhibitor drugs cholesterol in the liver . Are often used by people who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who also have high cholesterol . The main reason is to avoid a heart attack .

252 patients with pancreatic cancer, and
504 people without cancer.

From this information , it was concluded that the use of statins should be investigated further for the prevention of pancreatic cancer among male smokers gays.

On the other hand , researchers from Tokyo University in Japan found that patients treated for pancreatic cancer has also improved the prognosis if treated with statins. Their study was reported in the March 1, 2013 Journal of the pancreas.

Two hundred fifty patients receiving chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer were included in the study.

124 of these patients had diabetes
Patients treated with statins survived 3.3 months longer than those who did not use statins. It was concluded that the reason the use of statins has significantly improved survival through .

More research will provide more answers as to how statins or other medications may be useful in the prevention or treatment of pancreatic cancer. At the same time , the National Institutes of Health in the United States issued a statement on the prevention of cancer in type 2 diabetes. According to the NIH , the rate of pancreatic and other types of cancer mortality can be reduced :

a treatment for obesity and insulin levels
