Use of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors for Erectile Dysfunction and Risk of Malignant Melanoma.
IMPORTANCE The target for the oral erectile dysfunction drugs, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, is part of a pathway implicated in the development of malignant melanoma. An increased risk of melanoma in sildenafil users was recently reported. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between use of PDE5 inhibitors and melanoma risk, including data on specific PDE5 inhibitors, number of ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction.

Down-regulation of this pathway is central to the pathophysiology of many forms of erectile dysfunction (ED), which is often associated with other chronic diseases (e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus) and treatments (e.g. certain drugs, radical pr...

متن کاملUse of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and risk of melanoma: a meta-analysis of observational studies
Background Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PE5i) administration may stimulate the proliferation and survival of melanocytes. However, discrepancies remain regarding the association between PDE5i use and melanoma risk in observational studies in humans.

متن کاملUpdate on the Safety of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.
INTRODUCTION Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Although historically found to have limited drug-related adverse events, emerging data have suggested that PDE5Is might be associated with melanoma or recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. AIM To summarize the literature on the safety of PDE5...
