A recent study has found a link between the erectile dysfunction drug, Viagra, and the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma.
In June of 2014, JAMA Internal Medicine published the results of a decade-long study of sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) and melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The study found that recent use of sildenafil caused an 84 percent increase in risk of developing melanoma. Even men who had taken Viagra for a short period of time showed an increased risk for melanoma. The correlation may be related to the fact that sildenafil uses the same cell-signaling pathways that are employed when melanoma metastasizes. Patients who have taken Viagra and developed melanoma can suffer from lost wages, painful treatments, and emotional suffering. Melanoma can be very difficult to treat, and can even lead to death.
