Although there's limited evidence to prove a link…a national law firm is paying close attention to the research and investigation of these claims—which means they probably smell blood.
The firm Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough is investigating a potential lawsuit that hinges on preliminary study findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Dr. Abrar Qureshi, professor and chair of the dermatology department in the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, co-authored the study. His group found that men who took sildenafil were about 84 percent more likely to develop melanoma than men who didn't take the drug.
Although the researchers aren't recommending that men should stop taking Viagra—they are suggesting that they talk with their doctors about getting check-ups for skin cancer.
Disturbing trends uncovered in study data…
Dr. Qureshi and several colleagues at sites in the U.S. and China analyzed data gathered from nearly 26,000 men from the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study—a long-term study of male doctors and other health care workers.
The study began in 1986 when about 52,000 male health professionals completed a questionnaire on their medical history and lifestyle practices. This included questions about about Viagra use and skin cancer.
Participants were between 40 and 75 years old at the beginning of the study. They were asked to update their information every two years thereafter by completing additional questionnaires.
About six percent of the men studied had taken Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction.
The researchers found that men who had used Viagra at any time had a 92 percent risk of developing melanoma compared to men who never used the drug. Further, the data showed that recent use of the drug increased melanoma risk by 84 percent.
This elevated risk held true even when adjustments were made for:
- Family history of skin cancer
- Major illnesses (e.g. diabetes or heart disease)
- Other types of cancer
- Ultraviolet light exposure in the states where the men lived
|
Study researchers who tracked the men until 2010 discovered that 142 men developed melanoma.
What's more, another 3,610 participants developed non-melanoma skin cancer, such as basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer.
The investigators found no link between erectile dysfunction itself and an increased melanoma risk. This would indicate that the drug—not the condition the drug is meant to treat—is the link.
