Has anyone heard of a correlation between lunesta and lymphoma/other cancers in humans?
I found this article for what it's worth:http://www.jco.org/cgi/content/full/23/31/8134h:

ok so apparantly the link sucks. Sorry. It's titled "Incidence of Cancer in Individuals Receiving Chronic Zopiclone or eszopiclone Requires Prosprective Study" from the Journal of Clinical Oncology.Just curious if anyone has any insight/thoughts or has heard of any such connection before. good night.

>Its http://www.jco.org/cgi/content/full/23/31/8134 and requires an institutional link, likely. But the story mainly focuses on thyroid cancers in es(zopiclone) in rats where they were given 20-40 times the average dose in humans. It also focuses more on studies with HIV-1 infected individuals.
It is a correspondence to the editor, not a full article or study.
