Cholesterol-lowering drugs could help stop skin cancers turning into life-threatening ulcerated melanomas, according to Brisbane researchers.

The new findings from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Unit showed that Queenslanders who regularly took statins had less chance of melanomas becoming ulcerated and potentially deadly.

Researchers described the breakthrough as “very exciting”, but said more studies are needed.
