Case Report of Cancer Arising From Tapeworm Infection

In 2015 Dr Atis Muehlenbachs reported a case of cancer as a transmissible parasite entitled " Malignant Transformation of Hymenolepis (TapeWorm) in a Human Host", Dr Muehlenbachs described an unfortunate immunosupressed patient with enlarged lymph nodes invaded by cancer cells. Genomic analysis of lymph node biopsy material revealed tapeworm DNA in the cancer cells, indicating the parasitic origin. Perhaps the early 1890 microbiologist, William Russell, was right all along.

Conclusion: The link between cancer and parasitic disease is intriguing. Animal models in which invading parasites transform normal cells into cancer cells has shed light on this connection. The sheer fact that a wide array of anti-parasitic drugs serve as potent anti-cancer agents tends to support the hypothesis that cancer is a form of parasitic disease.
