Some parasites that might be related to the occurrence of cancer

Author: , MANAL I. KHALEEL, ASMAA A.Z.S. AL-EDANY
Abstract: Cancer is a major global cause of death, particularly in developing countries, and which occurs by the uncontrolled division of normal cells to form abnormal growths or tumours. The occurrence of cancer has a direct or indirect linkage to gene expression patterns, and may affected by different physiological and environmental conditions. Parasites are one such infective agent that might have a certain relationship with the occurrence of cancer. It has been found that some protozoan parasites, for instance, Cryptosporidium sp., Toxoplasma gondii, Trichomonas vaginalis, Blastocystis hominis and Plasmodium falciparum, as well as certain helminths, for instance, Schistosoma, Opisthorchis or Chlonorchis sp. Seem to have high incidence in cancer patients and have been related to cancer in infected individuals. Some of these parasites further hinder the efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer patients and make their health worse, whilst cancer itself can have effects on patients’ immunity in such a way as to place them at risk from opportunistic parasitic infections and their associated pathogenic consequences.
