ACE inhibitors can protect cancer patients with diabetes and gastric ulcer

This is the University of Vermont by the British physician Littenberg out by a research report that his 1003 study taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in diabetic patients, found that ACE inhibitors have been taking the opportunity of cancer is 10 percent, no It is taking 15 percent, in other words taking ACE inhibitors, 59% of patients can reduce the incidence of cancer, and why the use of ACE inhibitors can reduce the cancer happen? Studies have shown that ACE inhibitors captopril in vitro experiments found that some cancer cells can inhibit the growth, including breast cancer cells and so on; also found that taking ACE inhibitors can also reduce the incidence of gastric ulcer, taking ACE inhibitors, there will be only 12% of gastric ulcer without taking about 16%, meaning that 30 percent can reduce the incidence of gastric ulcer, although statistically the range of meaningful and meaningless just between. However Littenberg physicians also believe that his research may be too little time, the number of patients may also be enough, and ACE inhibitors do not know how long to take to reduce the incidence of cancer and ulcers, which are also needed large-scale prospective study in order to do so drawn.
