Candida species infection may be associated with increased cancer risk.
We linked data from the nationwide medical registries and examined the incidence of various cancers in patients with a first-time hospital presentation with candida infection. We computed the cumulative incidence of cancer and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of cancer overall, immune-related cancers, and specific cancer types by comparing observed versus expected incidences based on age-, sex-, and anatomical site-specific incidence rates.
Among 21,247 candida-infected patients, we identified 1534 cancers during a combined follow-up of 187,993 years (standardized incidence ratio (SIR)=1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-1.7)). The 1- and 10-year risks of cancer were 2.6%, and 8.3%, respectively. In the first year after a candida diagnosis, the SIR for cancer was 3.7 (95% CI: 3.4-4.0). In the second and subsequent years of follow-up, the SIRs were 1.2 (95% CI: 1.1-1.3) for any cancer and 1.4 (95% CI 1.2-1.7) for immune-related cancers. The risk of mouth and throat cancers remained more than 3-fold increased in the second and subsequent years of follow-up.
Hospital presentation with candida infection is associated with increased short- and long-term cancer risk.
念珠菌属物种感染可能与癌症风险增加有关。
我们将全国性医疗登记数据进行关联,并检查了首次因念珠菌感染住院的患者的各种癌症的发病率。我们通过比较基于年龄、性别和解剖部位特定发病率的观察到的与预期的发病率,计算了癌症的累积发病率和癌症的标准化发病比(SIR),以及整体免疫相关癌症和特定癌症类型的 SIR。
在 21247 例念珠菌感染患者中,我们在 187993 年的联合随访中发现了 1534 例癌症(标准化发病比(SIR)=1.6(95%置信区间(CI):1.5-1.7))。癌症的 1 年和 10 年风险分别为 2.6%和 8.3%。在念珠菌诊断后的第一年,癌症的 SIR 为 3.7(95% CI:3.4-4.0)。在随访的第二年及以后,任何癌症的 SIR 为 1.2(95% CI:1.1-1.3),免疫相关癌症的 SIR 为 1.4(95% CI 1.2-1.7)。在随访的第二年及以后,口腔和咽喉癌的风险仍然增加了 3 倍以上。
