Scientists may have discovered a link between two major diseases in older patients.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in this edition of “Housecall for Health”:

New research finds an extraordinary link between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

A study from the National Research Council in Italy shows adults who have cancer are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. And those already diagnosed with the brain disease have a slimmer chance of developing cancer.

Scientists hope future research will explain the protective qualities the diseases may have against one another.
