Is it possible that people who take so many painkillers succumb to something else before they get a chance to develop the cancer?

  No, because if they had died, they would not have been counted in the study. Heart disease is in general one of the risks.

    That’s exactly my point. They’d be removed from the study before they got the cancer.

      That doesn't seem to truthfully represent the situation. Some people without cancer do rely on painkillers more than they should, but it is during cancer that many people start taking a lot of painkillers.
