Study Type Findings in Statin Use Group Results References
Meta-analysis Decrease risks and mortality of endometrial cancer. Risk: RR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.94; OS: HR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.80. [45]
Meta-analysis Decrease mortality of endometrial cancer. Mortality: HR = 0.80, 95% CI, 0.66 to 0.95. [46]
Meta-analysis No protective effect on endometrial cancer. Risk: RR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.00; long-term use (>5 years) RR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.08. [47]
