Verapamil and risk of cancer in patients with coronary artery disease

: The risk of cancer in users of verapamil was assessed in a long-term follow-up of 1,775 patients who were randomized to verapamil or matching placebo in the Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial-II in the years 1985 to 1987. During 10,474 patient-years, no increased risk of cancer was observed for the verapamil-treated men or women compared with the age- and sex-matched background population.
