Abstract

Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) has a poor prognosis, and chemoprevention is an attractive option to reduce the burden of the disease. Hydroxyl-methyl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to exert potentially useful anticancer effects against OAC cell lines, but there are only limited clinical data examining the effects of statins on the incidence of OAC.
