Lupus and Cancer

Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage, affecting organs like the skin, joints, and kidneys. Symptoms can vary widely, including fatigue, joint pain, and rashes. Cancer, on the other hand, is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that can invade and damage surrounding tissues. It can occur in various forms, affecting different parts of the body. Both lupus and cancer require medical management, and living with either condition often involves ongoing treatment and monitoring.
