Statin Use and Skin Cancer Risk: A Prospective Cohort Study

Epidemiological studies on statin use in relation to skin cancer risk are scarce and yielded conflicting results. We explored this association in E3N, a prospective cohort of French women born in 1925-1950. Health and lifestyle data were self-reported biennially and matched with drug reimbursement data allowing to identify participants ’ statin use since 2004. Multivariable cause-specific hazards regression models adjusted for skin cancer risk factors estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
