Large study of MS and cancer risk (MedPage Today article)
« on: November 26, 2020, 08:23:35 am »

This article is about a rather large study that found that MS patients are at no higher risk for bladder or colorectal cancer than other people, but unfortunately have a risk of bladder cancer that is 72% higher than for those without MS.  According to the article, possible causes might be the increased UTIs and use of catheters among people with MS.
