We noted a small long-term increase in lung cancer risk with ACEIs compared with ARBs. Separation of survival curves was delayed until 10-12 years after treatment initiation. Although the observed increases in lung cancer risk are small, implications are potentially important because of the broad use of ACEIs. Thus, additional work to validate these findings is needed.
