Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Sildenafil is an established treatment that prevents cancer from spreading in patients.
The finding
What the evidence shows
A 2026 study reports effects on cancer-cell migration and metastasis in experimental models, including mice, and a retrospective patient survival association. That is promising research, but it does not establish sildenafil as a proven metastasis-prevention treatment for patients. The article itself uses may language.
