[49]. Cantini et al. found that high-intensity statins enhanced the clinical activity of programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and advanced non-small cell lung cancer [69]. Han et al. found that simvastatin may improve the efficacy of ...
The new findings, from people ranging widely in fitness levels, suggest that "exercise of moderate intensity is feasible and safe" in statin users, that the drugs won't exacerbate normal muscle symptoms from exercise, Allard told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology. And that exercise doesn't ha...
