High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps transport cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it can be processed and removed from the body.
Some research suggests that higher levels of HDL cholesterol may be associated with a lower risk of certain types of cancer. This could be due to HDL's role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are linked to cancer development.
Other studies have indicated that very high levels of HDL cholesterol might be associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.
While higher levels of HDL cholesterol are generally associated with cardiovascular health and may have protective effects against certain cancers, the evidence is mixed, and the implications for cancer risk and prognosis vary by cancer type.
