Infections to Cancer
Introduction
World Cancer Day 4 February, 2011 UICC/WHO
By the year 2020, there will be 16 million new cases of cancer/year, out of which 70% in developing countries.
Each year, over 12 million people receive a cancer diagnosis and 7.6 million die of the disease.
The good news is that approximately 40% of cancers are potentially preventable.
The risk of developing cancer can significantly be reduced through simple measures:
- Stop tobacco use and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke
- Limit alcohol consumption
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Maintain a healthy weight, through eating healthily and exercising regularly
- Protect against cancer-causing infections

DISTRIBUTION OF CERVICAL CANCER
 |
The global public health burden attributable to human papilloma virus is considerable. More than 5% of all cancers worldwide are caused by persistent infection with this virus. Infection by the human papilloma virus is the most common sexually transmitted agent, afflicting 50-80% of the population.

Tumor Bacteria Helicobacter pylori
5. Robin Warren in 1979 first observed the bacteria in 50% of biopsy samples from patients who had died due to ulcer. A new biopsy study was done by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren in 100 Australian patients to confirm the earlier findings. The bacterium was isolated and cultured for the first time in 1982, Helicobacter pylori, bacteria on the surface of the gastric
The bacteria probably spread directly from person to person orally and is acquired during birth from mother to child. If an individual is not infected before the age of 10 years, he has very little risk of being later. Helicobacter pylori are detected in more than 90% of people with duodenal ulcers and in about 80% of those with gastric ulcer. Infection with Helicobacter pylori is one of the most chronic infections throughout the world: 20 to 90% of adults are infected in different countries. The infection is more common in developing countries (60 to 80% of the population affected), while it is lowest in the industrialized countries (20 to 50% of the population that is affected, especially those disadvantage).
A sharp rise in the elderly population is observed.
Lymphoma of MALT (Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue) even rarer was his prognosis changed
since the knowledge of Helicobacter pylori.

Schistosomiasis and Bladder Cancer
Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is a parasitic disease caused by trematode flatworms of the genus Schistosoma.
In the body, the larvae develop into adult schistosomes, which live in the blood vessels. The females release eggs, some of which are passed out of the body in the urine or faeces.
In urinary schistosomiasis, there is progressive damage to the bladder, ureters and kidneys.
In intestinal schistosomiasis, there is progressive enlargement of the liver and spleen, intestinal damage, and hypertension of the abdominal blood vessels.
Control of schistosomiasis is based on drug treatment, snail control, improved sanitation and health education.
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that occurs in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is the major health risk in the rural areas of Central China and Egypt and continues to rank high in other developing countries.
• Some 600 million people are at risk of becoming infected. It is estimated that 200 million people are already infected.
• Schistosomiasis contributes to 27.6% of bladder cancer. Over 350’000 new cases of bladder cancer are recorded worldwide.
• Extreme poverty, the unawareness of the risks, the inadequacy or total lack of public health facilities plus the unsanitary environment are all factors contributing to the risk of infection.
• Schistosomiasis is an avoidable risk factor which could reduce the burden of bladder cancer in developing
