A North Carolina Viagra melanoma lawyer notes that a new study suggests that the drug may adversely affect the body’s ability to fight melanoma cells, which may put users at a greater risk of developing the fatal form of skin cancer. This is reportedly the first study to suggest a potential mechanism of action to explain the previously observed connection between Viagra and melanoma. Affected men and their families may be able to file a lawsuit with the help of a North Carolina Viagra cancer lawsuit attorney.

New Research May Shed Light on Connection Between Viagra and Melanoma
New research from a German university indicates that men taking Viagra may be more likely to develop the skin cancer melanoma. According to Newsmax, the study reveals that Viagra may directly support the spread of melanoma cells by limiting the body’s ability to block the growth of these cells. Researchers note that Viagra may not necessarily promote the growth of new cancer cells, but it may endanger patients who already have melanoma, especially when those patients use the drug frequently or take higher doses.
This study reinforces the findings of prior research, which has pointed to an association between Viagra and melanoma. One study of more than 15,000 men that was conducted in the U.S. and published in 2014 found that Viagra patients were at enhanced risk for developing melanoma. A Swedish study published the next year, which followed over 24,000 men, reached similar conclusions. The recent German study, however, is the first to shed light on the potential reasons for the apparent connection between this skin cancer and Viagra.
