Infection Linked to 8 Cancer Cases
A recent study has shown that about one-tenth of cancer cases worldwide are linked to infectious factors. The study estimated that 2.3 million cancer cases in 2024 are associated with infections. Research has revealed that there are 12 infectious agents connected to cancer, with Helicobacter pylori bacteria responsible for approximately 760,000 cases and human papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for about 750,000 cases. Other factors include Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis C virus, both linked to multiple types of cancer. This highlights the importance of prevention through vaccination and early detection, emphasizing the need to develop new vaccines targeting the causative agents that currently lack immunization.
