- STUDY: Viagra Use May Increase Risk of Melanoma
The Phillips Law Group is investigating claims that Viagra (sildenafil) may lead to an increased risk of the melanoma type of skin cancer in men who have used the drug.
A study of the erectile dysfunction medication was recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and suggested a link between Viagra use and melanoma. If you or a loved one developed melanoma after using Viagra, you deserve to be compensated for your suffering.
Study Suggests Melanoma Is 84% More Common After Viagra Use
In June of 2014, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported the results of a long-term study which found a link between Viagra use and melanoma.
Researchers examined the data from a long-term study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, which tracked the data of nearly 26,000 men from 1986 through 2000. The researchers compared the mens instances of melanoma skin cancer as well as their reported Viagra use.
Even after researchers controlled for variable like a family history of skin cancer and the amount of UV light exposure, men who had taken Viagra were significantly more likely to develop melanomas than those who did not. Men who had never used Viagra developed melanoma at a rate of 4.3 out of every 1,000. In contrast, men who reported using the erectile dysfunction drug developed melanoma at a rate of 8.6 out of 1,000an 84% increase.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
