Scientists detected signs of fungi lurking in the tumors of persons with
numerous types of cancer, including breast, colon, pancreatic, and lung
malignancies.
However, it’s still not apparent that these fungi play any role in the
genesis or progression of cancer.
Two new investigations, published Sept. 29 in the journal Cell, discovered
DNA from fungal cells hiding in malignancies throughout the body.
More than 17,000 tissue, blood, and plasma samples from cancer patients
were analyzed to hunt for the genetic fingerprints of fungi in 35 different
cancer types.
