Can Viagra prevent cancer? This is what a study says
Used for erectile dysfunction, shows potential to disrupt the spread of cancer by interfering with cholesterol metabolism
According to a study from the Weizmann Institute of Science, viagra, also known as Viagra, may have extra effects in the fight against cancers. This medication, which is typically used to treat erectile dysfunction, has the potential to stop cancer from spreading by affecting lipid metabolism.
Studies show that sildenafil blocks the phosphodiesterase type 5 ( PDE5 ) enzyme, leading to higher cGMP levels. This decrease in lipid also lowers the amount of cholesterol that cancer cells can access, limiting their potential to metastasize.
The results are based on analyses of years of health information, mouse models, and individual body cultures, as well as experiments conducted in these fields. The outcomes suggest that viagra and statin combination may help to slow the spread of cancer.
Use cases for therapeutic purposes
Unaffected by the study, Dr. Mike Lattanzi, a board-certified medical oncologist and director of Texas Oncology's gastrointestinal cancer research program, stated in a news release that while the findings are encouraging, human clinical trials must still be conducted to assess their efficacy before changing cancer treatment options.
Lattanzi points out that the charm of this research is in the use of common medications, but that any approach to preventing cancer is still in its early stages.
