A new study of more than 7,000 men suggests that those with localized prostate cancer (which means the disease hasn't spread beyond the prostate gland) who take cholesterol reducing statin drugs or anti-inflammatory agents live longer than men who don't use these medications.
Some of the well known statins include Zocor, Lipitor, Pravachol, Crestor, Lescol, and Mevacor. Commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs include aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).
