Skin cancer tied to reduced odds of Alzheimer's disease

Patients with malignant melanoma were 61% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, while those with squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma had 92% and 82% reduced odds of Alzheimer's, respectively, according to a study in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. The findings may help further studies on identifying the underlying cause behind the association between skin cancer and reduced Alzheimer's disease risk, researchers said.
