Medical scientists have revealed in a new study that the loss of the ‘Y chromosome’ from blood cells as men age is closely related to the onset of cancer and its dangerous spread.

According to a foreign media report, scientists in a research published in JCI Insight believe that as men age, the Y chromosome begins to disappear from various cells in the body, which affects the immune system of the human body.

Research has shown that this loss of the Y chromosome helps cancer cells evade the immune system, allowing tumors to grow more quickly and unhindered.

Experts believe that after this discovery, it will be possible to diagnose cancer at an early stage and develop specific and more effective cancer drugs for men.
