This relationship was not seen in patients with asthma and was particularly strong in men, the researchers reported. The relationship between allergies and certain cancers caused by scientists before, but the cause is still unknown. But the new data in the study of the mechanisms in the development of cancer, especially participating sense, said the possible role of the immune system, the leader of the study eye Apple (Ayelet Eppel). Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer death. Diagnosed in the U.S. each year, about 30,000 new cases of the disease, and only 5% of patients will survive more than 5 years after diagnosis.
