ABSTRACT
The increased risk of cancer with the use of drugs for the treatment of other diseases, is a known fact for over half a century, but recently, the report of this problem associated with drugs such as some antihypertensives, and inhaled insulin, has been restored to a worldwide attention, the safety of treatments of scientific medicine, so it is prudent to analyze the issue in order to provide better patient care.
