Scientists at Johns Hopkins have found evidence that cancer triggers the autoimmune disease scleroderma, which causes thickening and hardening of the skin and widespread organ damage. A report on the discovery, published in the Dec. 5 issue of iScience/i, also suggests that a normal immune system is critical for preventing the development of common types of cancer.

A report on the discovery, published in the Dec. 5 issue of iScience/i, also suggests that a normal immune system is critical for preventing the development of common types of cancer.
