Cancer health issues continue to be in the spotlight as they affect so many people. Science is trying to fight these diseases.

US scientists announce they have found a new way to treat blood cancer. It turned out that drugs that are used to lower the level of lipoproteins in the blood can help.. They are called statins..

Usually they are administered to patients so that their blood becomes less fat and, thereby, the risk of atherosclerosis decreases..

Under the influence of statins, the level of lipoproteins and low-density triglycerides decreases.

It is they who are considered carriers of what is called “bad cholesterol”, which contributes to heart disease and premature death..

Scientists have found that if satins are used in combination with chemotherapy for blood cancer, the effectiveness of treatment increases significantly..

Experiments were carried out on mice. The life expectancy of sick animals after treatment with statins increased markedly.
