女性服用高血压药物谨防患上胰腺癌

在对公众健康有潜在广泛影响的研究结果中，新的研究发现，一些女性使用一类药物来缓解高血压要比使用其他高血压药物的人更容易患上胰腺癌。

In a large and intensively studied group of middle-aged and older women, the risk of developing pancreatic cancer was more than twice as high for those who took a short-acting calcium channel blocker for more than three years.

Examples of short-acting calcium channel blockers (and the commercial names by which they're marketed) include nifedipine (Adalat and Procardia), nicardipine (Cardene), isradipine (DynaCirc), diltiazem (Cardizem, Cartia and Dilacor) and verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin and Verelan).
