Researchers in the United States are reporting an unusual and rare case of a man diagnosed with prostate cancer who developed an 'uncontrollable 'Irish brogue' accent' despite not having one before.
The researchers from Duke University in Durham, N.C., and Carolina Urologic Research Center in South Carolina say the patient, a man in his 50s, had metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.Twenty months after his cancer diagnosis, the researchers say the patient's speech changed.
Even as his condition worsened, the researchers say the man still kept his Irish accent up until his death months later. The report points to paraneoplastic neurological disorder as the most likely cause of the patient's FAS.as a group of uncommon disorders that develop in some people who have cancer, specifically when the immune system's cancer-fighting agents attack parts of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves or muscle.
