Abstract

Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide, and one of the pathogenesis is some species of parasites. At present, the main types of parasites for cancer are: Echinococcus granulosus (tapeworm), Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma cruzi, Schistosoma, liver fluke and so on. Different types of parasites cause different types of cancer. In recent years, many scholars have done related research and experiments on the mechanism of parasite-induced cancer infection, but the specific mechanism has not been clear so far. This article reviews the relationship between schistosomiasis, liver flukes and Toxoplasma gondii and cancer and their pathogenesis.
