Echinococcus granulosus: Cure for Cancer Revisited

12 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

Whereas a number of parasites are well recognized risk factors for a number of different cancers in mammalian hosts, there is limited information on the ability of parasitic organisms to induce anti-cancer effects. There are conflicting reports that echinococcosis, caused by the canine tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, can decrease or increase cancer risk. This review considers both indirect anti-cancer effects...
