 [ Symptoms ] does lipitor cause pancreatic cancer i have read recently that lipitor may be linked to pancreatic cancer can you verify if there is any studies to support that there is pancreatic cancer in my immediate family and i am presently taking lipitor thanks [ Disease ] i do not think that anyone knows for sure at this point pancreatic cancer has been around a long time before lipitor and most people who have pancreatic cancer have never used it keep abreast of any new information that may surface on the medical sites but an association is not necessarily a cause you could easily make an association that people who eat at a certain fast food chain have a higher level of a disease than someone who does not or that a large percentage of people who have a type of cancer had driven a car prior to the diagnosis these are associations if any definitive studies are found with a causative relationship any suspect drug is immediately pulled from the market
