- Title
Allergic conditions and risk of hematological malignancies in adults: a cohort study.
- Authors
Söderberg, Karin C; Hagmar, Lars; Schwartzbaum, Judith; Feychting, Maria
- Abstract
Two contradictory hypotheses have been proposed to explain the relationship between allergic conditions and malignancies, the immune surveillance hypothesis and the antigenic stimulation hypothesis. The former advocates that allergic conditions may be protective against development of cancer, whereas the latter proposes an increased risk. This relationship has been studied in several case-control studies, but only in a few cohort studies.
