Medicamentos para disfunción erectil, no incrementan el riesgo de melanoma, un alivio para los pacientes.

Three Widely Used Erectile Dysfunction Medications Not Likely To Increase Risk Of Melanoma, Research Suggests.

HealthDay (6/14, Preidt) reports that research suggests "three widely used erectile dysfunction drugs – Cialis [tadalafil], Levitra [vardenafil] and Viagra [sildenafil] – aren't likely to boost the risk of melanoma skin cancer." The findings were published in PLoS Medicine. HealthDay points out that there had been "concern" because "laboratory tests" had "suggested that lower levels of an enzyme that's inhibited by certain erectile dysfunction" medications may "increase the growth of melanoma cells," although "studies examining melanoma risk among men who take these drugs have had conflicting results."
