Description
Filip Gorawski, Zofia Wicik, and Kamilla Blecharz-Klin ask in a 2025 study whether a common pain drug affects cancer risk. The drug is acetaminophen, sold in many lands as paracetamol, and used all over the world for pain and fever. Its effects on sex hormones, and on cancers tied to them, were not clear.
The team paired a review of past lab and human studies with computer work on the drug's targets in the body. Most large human studies found no rise in risk, and some found a small drop. The computer work found gene paths tied to ovary and prostate cancers that the drug may touch. The authors call for more basic and clinical work before firm claims.
