ACE inhibitors may trigger recurrence of breast cancer: an unexpected finding |

EurekAlert: In analyses that controlled for these differences in health issues, Ganz found that women exposed to ACE inhibitors had a significantly increased risk for recurrence, while those on beta blockers alone had a lower risk of recurrence. Exposure to both beta blockers and ACE inhibitors had an intermediate risk for recurrence, suggesting that the beta blockers might modify the increased risk associated with ACE inhibitor therapy. "The ACE inhibitor findings were not expected. These observations need to be confirmed and suggest that greater attention should be focused on the potential effect of these commonly used medications on recurrence and breast cancer survival," Ganz said.
