Study in Neurology finds a 6% overall cancer risk increase for MS patients, particularly for bladder, brain, and cervical cancers.
A study in Neurology reveals a slight increase in cancer risk for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Analyzed data from over 140,000 MS patients showed a 6% overall cancer risk increase, particularly for bladder, brain, and cervical cancers. Conversely, risks for prostate, colorectal, and breast cancers were lower in MS patients. The authors emphasize the need for further research to explore the relationship between MS and cancer risk, noting that increased medical monitoring might influence findings.
