Abstract

There is increasing epidemiological evidence for a role of allergic/atopic disorders in cancer development. However, findings have been inconsistent, which may be partly due to differences in defining allergy and the associated atopic disorders. The use of a biological marker for atopy may enhance the exploration of the association with cancer risks. To examine the association of atopy with common malignancies, we compared the prevalence of atopy in 318 patients with prostate cancer, 381 patients with breast cancer, 196 patients with lung cancer, 477 patients with colorectal cancer and 4,271 controls in a case-control analysis of participants of 2 prospective studies conducted in Saarland, Germany. Data on physician-diagnosed atopy-related diseases (asthma, hay fever and atopic dermatitis) were obtained by self-administered questionnaire. Allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) was assessed among cases and controls to define atopy. We observed a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer (odds ratio (OR) 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.83) and a tentatively, statistically not significant increased risk of breast cancer (OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.87-1.66) and lung cancer (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.87-1.92) with specific IgE posi...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
