Warfarin use may lower the risk of cancer development, say researchers.
Warfarin is a medication used to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. A new study, however, suggests that the drug may also help to reduce the risk of cancer, particularly for people aged 50 and older.
Study co-author James B. Lorens, Ph.D., of the University of Bergen in Norway, and colleagues recently reported their findings in JAMA Internal Medicine.
