Common infections in several cancers
Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this letter is to investigate common infections in the patients with several usual cancers. Globally breast cancer is the most common and cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among females [1, 2]. In spite of breast and cervix cancers being among the common cancers in females, they have many etiological factors. Factors associated with breast cancer are obesity, nulliparity, hormonal exposure, history of familial cancers which are contrasting to those associated with cervical cancer [1, 2] Human papilloma virus infection is the most common causative agent for cervical cancer and risk of disease is higher among those with low socioeconomic status, poor socioeconomic status, multiparity, and sexual promiscuity [1, 2]. Also, HIV infection is a known predilector for multiple cancers. Carcinoma cervix was determined as an HIV-defining condition, but, breast cancer has no known association with HIV [1, 2].
