ABSTRACT
Statins,the inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA)reductase,are mostly prescribed for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and prevention of cardiovascular events. Several studies have suggested that statins can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer,however,there is still a debate on its chemopreventive effect. This article summarized the local and overseas studies focusing on this issue,and made a brief overview on the effect of statins in prevention of colorectal cancer and adenoma and its potential mechanisms.
