Аннотация

PURPOSE: The findings of previous studies attracted our interest in searching and defining the percentage of deaths from cancer in 'heroin regular addicts' i.e. those who had never stopped taking the drug since they started.

METHODS

The archives of the Greek Reitox Focal Point of the years 2001 to 2010 were retrospectively searched, focusing on the number of deaths from cancer of the regular heroin addicts.

RESULTS

The records from 2,321 regular heroin addicts showed that none of them died from cancer. It seems that heroin might act as a "barrier" against cancer.

CONCLUSION

Further studies are needed to confirm our results and to explore the potential cause for this surprising finding.
