Abstract:
Neuro degenerative, progressive disease affecting the basal ganglia. Parkinson's
disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine
Release of dopamine is associated with alpha-synuclein, Alpha-synuclein is
a protein that is abundant in the human brain. Parkinson's is associated with
voluntary motor control, procedural learning, eye movements, cognitive and
emotional functions. A growing number of evidences suggest that people with
Parkinson’s disease (PD) have a decreased risk of almost all cancers. However, the
incidence of melanoma is strikingly higher in patients with PD than that in general
population. An association between Parkinson disease (PD) and cancer has long
been suspected, but whether the association is with the dopaminergic treatments or
with the disease itself remains a question
