Does the use of xanax cause brain cancer or other cancers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really : Although the list of side - effects of xanax is quite long and it can affect many systems of the body but it is not known to cause cancer. Common problems with use of Xanax are dependence, increased tolerance for it and needing higher doses to be effective, slowing down of mental capability when using it.
