Cancers, Vol. 12, Pages 671: Statin Use and the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

Conclusion: This study serves as additional evidence supporting the beneficial inhibitory effect of statins on HCC incidence. The subgroup analyses of this study also highlight that statins are significantly associated with a reduced risk of HCC and may help to direct future prevention efforts. Additional large clinical studies are needed to determine whether statins are associated with a lower risk of HCC.
