Can chemotherapy aggravate MS? Posted: 02-01-07 08:48am
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is any known
connection between chemotherapy treatment
for (testicle) cancer and the sudden
worsning of multiple sclerosis symptoms
It doesn’t seem likely that there is a
connection between chemotherapy for
testicular cancer and worsening of
multiple sclerosis. MS aggravation during
chemotherapy is either accidental or there
is a brain metastasis present from the
testicular cancer causing neurological
symptoms similar to those present in MS.
