Read MoreA Study Identifies Autoimmune Disease to be Linked with Testicular Cancer
Washington D.C. [USA]: According to the Scientists, an autoimmune disease looks to be linked with testicular cancer that affects men. Known to us as ‘testicular cancer-associated paraneoplastic encephalitis’, it is the reason behind any serious neurological symptoms found in men. They lose control of the limbs, speech and eye movements progressively. The autoimmune disease starts with a testicular tumor, which seems to be the reason behind the immune system attacking the brain. Affected men find themselves undiagnosed or misdiagnosed often and relevant treatment is delayed. In a study that was published in…
