Cancer and dementia: Two sides of the same coin?

European journal of clinical investigation - 1 Nov 2018

van der Willik Kimberly D, Schagen Sanne B, Ikram M Arfan

Abstract excerpt

Noncentral nervous system cancer and the brain share an interesting and complex relation, with an emerging body of evidence showing that cancer patients are at an increased risk of developing cognitive problems. In contrast, population-based studies consistently find an inverse link between cancer and dementia, that is patients with dementia having a lower risk of subsequently developing cancer, and cancer...
