Autoimmune diseases and cancer are both conditions that can make it impossible for a sufferer to function with daily tasks, including holding down steady employment. When this happens, a person may need to apply for Social Security disability benefits in an effort to address monthly cost-of-living concerns.
New research indicates a possible link between autoimmune diseases and cancer. It was found that specific antibodies may develop cancer and an incurable autoimmune disease, scleroderma.
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease wherein scar tissue builds up in the skin and major organ systems. There also appears to be an increased risk of patients with scleroderma developing cancer. It is sometimes classified as an autoimmune rheumatic disease.
This is a serious, chronic disease where the most obvious symptom is a hardening of the skin. The symptoms of this condition can vary from person to person and are also dependent on which parts of the body are affected by the disease.
Although this is an incurable disease, there are various treatments available depending on the symptoms being experienced. There are approximately 300,000 people in the United States who have been diagnosed with scleroderma.
This possible link between cancer and autoimmune diseases will require further investigation. Other autoimmune disorders that appear to have a possible link with cancer will also be researched.
If you suffer from scleroderma, cancer or a severe autoimmune disease, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Contact a disability attorney who can help you determine if you are eligible to receive disability.
