It was previously thought that cholesterol-lowering drugs - statins - increase cancer risk, but this new large study says that statins neither increase, nor decrease cancer risk.
A year ago a team of researchers from Tufts Medical Center in Boston analyzed 13 studies involving participants taking statins. They reported that people taking statins for lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL - bad cholesterol) are at increased cancer risk, although the increase was not significant - only one case out of 1000.
Goals and Objectives in the management of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Decisions pertaining to endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) require complete information with respect to the clinical circumstances and the imaging characteristics including the angioarchitecture of the AVM as well as the brain. With these factors in mind a clinico-morphological analysis can be made to formulate the best plan for therapy, which might include embolization as well as other modalities.
