Study links parasitic infection Schistosoma haematobium to potential increase in cervical cancer risk.
A recent study at ESCMID Global 2025 shows that Schistosoma haematobium, a parasitic infection, can activate cancer-related genes in the cervical lining.
Researchers analyzed tissue samples from 39 Tanzanian women and found differences in gene expression between infected and uninfected women, which were even more pronounced after treatment.
This suggests the infection may increase cancer risk, highlighting the need for awareness of Female Genital Schistosomiasis and post-treatment monitoring.
