| dc.description.abstract | Many studies have analyzed relationships between microorganisms and cancer, demonstrating that microorganisms are able to prevent the onset of cancer and, others to provoke it. Specifically, more and more scientific articles are publishing on microorganisms, linking them to the creation, implementation and dispersion of cancer. In fact, it is estimated that microorganisms cause 17.8% of all cancers. The cancer-causing viral capability is the most studied and, in consequence, many different viral mechanisms that can cause cancer have been described. The International Cancer Re-search Institute has categorized eight viruses for the first time as "carcinogenic to hu-mans", including a human papillomavirus, two herpesvirus and two hepatitis viruses. Regarding bacteria, among cancerous agents, Helicobacter pylori is the most studied in relation to stomach cancer. In addition, many other bacteria, such as Salmonella typhi, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Streptococcus bovis, have been directly related to cancer. Although relatively little research on the effect of fungi on cancer has been investi-gated, some of the toxins produced by these microorganisms have been shown to cause cancer. In addition, some mechanism for the generation and spread of cancer have been described in Candida albicans. Studies to date have shown the influence of microor-ganisms on the development and promotion of cancer. For this reason, to face cancer in the next future, deepen into the relationship between cancer and microorganisms will be essential; Ikerketa askok mikroorganismoen eta minbizien arteko erlazioak aztertu dituzte, eta erakutsi dute mikroorganismo batzuek minbiziaren agerpena saihesten dutela eta beste batzuek, aldiz, minbizia eragin dezaketela. Hain zuzen ere, gero eta artikulu zientifiko gehiago argitaratzen ari dira mikroorganismoak minbiziaren sortzearekin, ezarpenarekin eta sakabanaketarekin erlazionatuz. Izan ere, mikroorganismoek minbizi guztien % 17,8 eragiten dutela estimatu da. Minbizia sortzeko birusen gaitasuna da gehien ikertu dena eta, ondorioz, minbizia sor dezaketen mekanismo desberdin asko deskribatu dira. Minbizia Ikertzeko Nazioarteko Agentziak zortzi birus 1. mailako "gizakiontzat kartzinogeno"-tzat sailkatu ditu; haien artean, giza papiloma birusa, bi herpesbirus eta bi hepatitisaren birus aurkitzen dira. Bakterioei dagokienez, minbizi-eragileen artean, Helicobacter pylori da gehien ikertu dena urdaileko minbiziarekin erlazionatuta. Baina honetaz gain, beste hainbat bakterio, hala nola Salmonella typhi, Chlamydia pneumoniae eta Streptococcus bovis minbiziarekin zuzenki erlazionatu dira. Onddoek daukaten minbiziarekiko erlazioa oso gutxi ikertu den arren, mikroorganismo hauek sortutako toxina batzuek minbizia eragin dezaketela frogatu da. Horrez gain, Candida albicans onddoak minbiziaren sorrera eta hedapena eragin dezakeen hainbat mekanismo deskribatu dira. Orain arte egindako ikerketek mikroorganismoek minbiziaren garapenean eta sustapenean daukaten eragina agerrarazi dute. Hori dela eta, etorkizunean minbiziari aurre egiteko, minbiziaren eta mikroorganismoen arteko erlazioan sakontzea ezinbestekoa da. | |
