Associations between infectious agents and subsequent cancer risk: a longitudinal analysis from the UK Biobank
Serological evidence of pathogen exposure reveals divergent associations with cancer risk, underscoring the complex interplay between infections and oncogenesis. These findings highlight the need for pathogen-specific screening in high-risk populations and mechanistic studies to unravel the complex roles of infections in oncogenesis.
