Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease in Cancer Patients: Analysis of Mortality Data from the US SEER Population-Based Registries

Abstract: Previous studies have reported an inverse association between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which are leading causes of human morbidity and mortality. We analyzed the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) data to estimate the risk of AD death in (i) cancer patients relative to reference populations stratified on demographic and clinical variables, and (ii) female breast cancer (BC) patients treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, relative to those with no/unknown treatment status. Our re… Show more

“…It has been found that compared to people without Alzheimer's dementia the risk of developing cancer is lower among patients with AD while the risk of developing AD is lower in patients with a history of cancer [8][9][10]. The results of the current research indicate the link between the molecular mechanisms involved in various types of cancers and AD, and encourage the use of some anticancer agents in the treatment of AD [11][12][13][14]. The knowledge and understanding gained from these studies can be applied for developing new therapies and designing new effective drugs for the treatment of both diseases.…”

“…The most important amyloid-associated diseases include Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, type 2 diabetes, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [ 6 ]. Recent data indicate that amyloids are also associated with preeclampsia and some forms of cancer, although this is unclear whether amyloids cause these diseases or arise as a consequence of the disease and serve as biomarkers [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Not only shared genetic and environmental risk factors but the role of a third disease that influences the occurrence of both AD and cancer, effects of treatment, phenotypic causality, in which one disease is a direct cause of the other disease (directional causation), or both disorders may cause one another (reciprocal causation) should be taken into consideration. Recent study on associations between cancer occurrence and AD mortality using data from populationbased cancer registries from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program has estimated the risk of AD death in cancer patients relative to reference populations stratified on demographic and clinical variables [26]. They have showed that the risk of AD death was reduced in white patients diagnosed with various cancers at 45 or more years of age, but it was increased in black patients diagnosed with cancers before 45 years of age (likely due to early onset AD).…”
