Elevated cholesterol associated with prostate cancer recurrence
Findings suggest that elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides may be linked with greater risk of the prostate cancer recurrence, but normalization of blood fats may reduce risk.
High HDL may reduce risk of prostate cancer recurrence
High cholesterol may be associated with an increased risk for developing prostate cancer.
New study reveals signaling pathway that can lead to cancer
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how cholesterol activates a cellular signaling pathway linked to cancer development. Previous studies have associated high cholesterol with certain cancers. But in this study, the researchers focused on the signaling pathways used to direct cell function.
Cholesterol levels may be tied to breast cancer risk
High cholesterol levels may increase a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer, a large new British study reports.
Low cholesterol linked to worse survival in kidney cancer
People are often told to reduce their cholesterol to improve their health, but new research suggests that low cholesterol may increase kidney cancer patients’ risk of dying from their disease.

A by-product of cholesterol functions like the hormone estrogen to fuel the growth and spread of the most common types of breast cancers, according to researchers.
New driver of breast cancer discovered
As cholesterol is metabolized, a potent stimulant of breast cancer is created—one that fuels estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers, according to new research.
