Abstract

There has been some research conducted on the relationship between allergies and cancer. The goal of our research was to be able to compile all information in the medical literature in order for the associations between allergies and specific cancer sites (i.e. breast, prostate. etc.) might be compared. We wanted to find out what associations, if any exist between allergies and specific cancer sites. Now that the associations have been found it is hoped that future research will support this research as well as use this information to establish how and why these associations occur.
