Study Shows Pitavastatin Can Prevent Cancer Development in Cases of Chronic Inflammation
Discover how the drug pitavastatin can effectively prevent cancer development in cases of chronic inflammation by blocking interleukin 33 (IL-33) expression. The study reveals the role of IL-33 in cancer-prone chronic inflammation and the ability of pitavastatin to inhibit IL-33 expression through the mevalonate pathway. Learn how this research highlights the potential of statins, like pitavastatin, as a safe and effective strategy for preventing cancer-related consequences of chronic inflammation.
Chinese Scientists Make Groundbreaking Discovery in Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
