Risk of urothelial cancer death among people using antihypertensive drugs-a cohort study from Finland.

Conclusions: This large population-based cohort suggests decreased risk of BCa death among ATR-blocker and calcium-channel blocker users. The risk association among ATR-blockers and calcium-channel blockers was dose-dependent suggesting a causal explanation. Similar risk associations are not observed for other anti-HT drug users, which may suggest a direct effect of ATR blocker or calcium-channel blocker use. Further studies are needed to elucidate the potential anticancer mechanism. PMID: 31250699 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
