Herpesviruses also cause cancer in animals, especially leukemias and lymphomas. [13] Human T cell lymphotropic virus was the first human retrovirus discovered by Robert Gallo and colleagues at NIH. [20] The virus causes Adult T-cell leukemia, a disease first described by Takatsuki and colleagues in Japan [21] and other neurological diseases ...
Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID), which is rare a type of MALT lymphoma. [2] Chlamydia pneumonia: Lung MALT lymphoma. [2] Chlamydia trachomatis Cervical cancer. [2] Chlamydophila psittaci: Ocular/adnexal lymphoma (forms of eye cancer). [2] Clostridium ssp Colon cancer. [2] Cutibacterium acnes: Bladder and prostate cancer. [2]
Bacteria involved in causing and treating cancers. Cancer bacteria are bacteria infectious organisms that are known or suspected to cause cancer. [1] While cancer-associated bacteria have long been considered to be opportunistic (i.e., infecting healthy tissues after cancer has already established itself), there is some evidence that bacteria may be directly carcinogenic.
A cancer syndrome or family cancer syndrome is a genetic disorder in which inherited genetic mutations in one or more genes predisposes the affected individuals to the development of cancers and may also cause the early onset of these cancers. Although cancer syndromes exhibit an increased risk of cancer, the risk varies.
This is a list of infectious diseases arranged by name, along with the infectious agents that cause them, the vaccines that can prevent or cure them when they exist and their current status. Some on the list are vaccine-preventable diseases .
Percentage of people infected with hepatitis C in 2015. The hepatitis C virus is the cause of hepatitis C and some cancers such as liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, abbreviated HCC) and lymphomas in humans. [1] [2] [3] An oncovirus or oncogenic virus is a virus that can cause cancer. [4]
Viridans strep can cause temporary bacteremia after eating, toothbrushing, or flossing. [17] More severe bacteremia can occur following dental procedures or in patients receiving chemotherapy. [17] Finally, Streptococcus bovis is a common cause of bacteremia in patients with colon cancer. [18]
For example, this can reveal if lung cancer was caused by tobacco smoke, if skin cancer was caused by UV radiation, or if secondary cancers were caused by previous chemotherapy treatment. [46] Cancer is generally not a transmissible disease. [47] Exceptions include rare transmissions that occur with pregnancies and occasional organ donors.
