In our previously study, we demonstrated an association between eczema and the risk of glioma. Our results revealed that eczema significantly reduced the risk of glioma. Here, we review related published data to investigate the association between allergic diseases and the risk of cancer. We also discuss the potential mechanism of how allergic diseases might modify the risk of cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
