Re: new trial (proposed @ MD Anderson) using statin during radiation therapy for IBC

Lani

I read an article about Statins and IBC and the article stated that water soluble Statins (Hydrophilic) were twice as effective as the fat soluble Statins (Lipophilic). Simvastatin or Zocor is Lipophilic and Pravastatin (Pravachol) is Hydrophilic. However this article talked more about stem cells than X Ray sensitization. Maybe one of the good researchers can clarify this.
