- Cancer and allergies | Hyperactive immune systems may protect against cancer. Or vice versa: ALLERGIES cause heaps of trouble. The cause in each case is an oversensitive immune system that is reacting to harmless materials as well as to the pathogens it is supposed to be fighting. This creates annoying and sometimes life-threateni ng symptoms. Chronically over-reactive immune systems may not, though, be an entirely bad thing. Another role played by the immune system is to destroy malignant tumours before they take hold?and work carried out recently by Annette Wigertz of the Karolinska Institute, in Stockholm, and her colleagues suggests that the immune systems of those with allergies may be particularly good at this. However, in a nice example of the way that one set of data is sometimes capable of divergent?inde ed, opposite?inter pretations, she may instead have discovered a clue about how cancers shut down immune systems in order that they themselves may prosper.
