Original: 1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds
A new study finds that roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide is caused by infections. The finding highlights the role of viruses and bacteria such as HPV and H. pylori in triggering cancers, and points to prevention through vaccination and treatment of common infections as a major opportunity to reduce the global cancer burden.
Why now: The scale of preventable cancers linked to infection, and the implications for vaccination and screening, make the study striking.
