Interesting enough one of the drugs I take is Atacand. It is an ARB. There are reports that it may increase cancer risk by 10%. Of course, "they" consider it to be a small risk but that is 10% more than I need it to be. And get this...it is not linked to any specific cancer although it shows that there is a significant increase in lung cancer. Switching medication is never fun however tomorrow I will be demanding a replacement drug that is not an ARB.
