Among them, 500 (28.6%) patients were found to take statins with EverX treatment (statin group), and the median duration of this combination was 5.36 months. The median time to treatment duration (TTD) for EverX and the overall survival (OS) were significantly higher in the statin group than in the no‐statin group [7.69 vs. 5.06 months, p
