High IgA and Cancer Risk

High IgA levels and cancer have been a focus of research due to the potential link between elevated immunoglobulin A (IgA) and certain types of cancer. IgA is an antibody that plays a critical role in immune function, particularly in mucosal areas such as the gut, respiratory tract, and urogenital tract. Persistently high IgA levels may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition or malignancy, such as multiple myeloma or certain lymphomas. Monitoring IgA levels can provide valuable insights into the immune system’s status and its response to cancerous processes. Understanding the association between high IgA levels and cancer can enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes through early detection and tailored treatment strategies.
