Sildenafil Use May Be Linked To Higher Risk Of Melanoma

Work published in JAMA Internal Medicine indicated that “men who used the erectile-function drug sildenafil (Viagra) had almost twice the risk of melanoma compared with men who never used the” medication. Researchers found that “recent sildenafil use was associated with an 84% greater risk of melanoma.” However, “use of the drug had no association with the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers.”
