ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Multi-factorial reasons are an induction to cause cancer. Different infections and infestations with viruses, bacteria, and parasites have been detected for many years to be related to human carcinogenesis.PURPOSE:
The study aimed to review all ideas of tumor carcinogenesis and its associations with parasitic infections and infestations.METHODS:
We reviewed several articles (published and imprinted) by selecting, extracting, and synthesizing data about the relationship between cancers and parasites.RESULTS:
Several helminths infections as schistosomiasis, are highly carcinogenic agents for bladder cancer, whereas trypanosomiasis has a bi-model role in cancer development. Leishmaniasis may be a cause of hepatocarcinoma, skin cancer, and lymphomas. In addition, malaria appears to be causative in the carcinogenesis of some cancers; as Burkitt lymphoma. Also, data from previous studies suggested that Strongyloides stercoralis may be a relevant co-factor in lymphomas.CONCLUSION:
There are different mechanisms of parasitic infection to be enhancing in carcinogenesis of cancer in human.Palabras clave
