About the Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases Session
The connection between cancer and autoimmune diseases is complex, as some autoimmune conditions increase the risk of developing cancer, while certain cancer treatments can trigger autoimmune reactions. For example, individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases have a higher incidence of lymphoma and certain types of skin cancer. On the other hand, immunotherapies that stimulate the immune system to fight cancer can sometimes lead to autoimmune side effects, where the immune system attacks healthy tissues. Research in this area focuses on understanding the immune system’s role in both cancer progression and the development of autoimmune diseases, with the aim of finding safer and more effective treatment strategies that can balance the benefits of immune activation with the risk of autoimmune reactions.
