3)   From psa-rising.com website       December 2018

A large new study of 87,346 patients on androgen deprivation therapy for
advanced prostate cancer finds can extend life and decrease death from
prostate cancer. 

Renal and Urology News sums up: "Statin use independently predicted a
significant 34% decreased risk of death from any cause, 44% decreased risk
of death from PCa, and 36% decreased risk of skeletal-related events, after
adjusting for multiple potential confounders, including age, race, Charlson
comorbidity index (CCI), Gleason score, and PSA."

Study authors conclude: "The use of statins in men on ADT for castrate
resistant prostate cancer [CAP] is associated with improved CSS (i.e.
decreased death from the cancer] and OS [Overall Survival]. Statins are
inexpensive, well-tolerated medications that offer a promising adjunct to
ADT, but require further prospective studies." This study was funded by the
US Department of Defense
