Men losing Y chromosome may face higher cancer risk

Scientists have found a link between the loss of the Y chromosome in men and an increased risk of developing cancer. As men grow older, some of their cells can lose the Y chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes found in males. Recent research indicates that this loss is not just a normal part of aging, but can act as an early warning sign for various types of cancer. Doctors and researchers are now studying how this biological change affects the body and whether tracking chromosome loss can help in early detection and better treatment plans for patients in the future.
