Does the medication TriCor (fenofibrate) for high triglycerides increase your risk of colon cancer


Does the medication TriCor (fenofibrate) for high triglycerides increase your risk of colon cancer?
I think I remember reading about this link, but a quick literature review did not turn anything up. Thanks for your help.

It appears that the studies have some mixed results. Some of the studies are actually leaning towards that TriCor is a help in some treatments of some cancers. see this link: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1475879 although you may not be a candidate for endometrial cancer, still the study is interesting. Here is another study in which fenofibrate is one of a combination of drugs being used in treatment for cancer: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00357500;jsessionid=31132CAB8FBA197D58CE44F2D90B8848?order=7 On the other hand, here is a link to another view: http://www.drugs.com/cons/Fenofibrate_Systemic.html
