Men with asthma or eczema at lower risk of developing cancer

According to a new study carried out by researchers at INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier, the Research Centre of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, and McGill University, men who had a history of asthma or eczema generally had a lower risk of developing cancer.

The findings show that male eczema sufferers had a lower risk of lung cancer while those with a history of asthma had a similar effect in relation to stomach cancer.

Studi findings are published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
