The impact of carcinogenic infections on cancer-related mortality is unknown.
The mortality due to cancers attributable to carcinogenic infections was estimated. The attributable fraction for the infectious agents classified as group 1 carcinogenic in human beings was applied to yearly data on causes of cancer mortality over the period 2013-2017 in Spain according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).
It was estimated that 9115 deaths (over 110,287 cancer-related deaths, 8.3%) were attributable to infections caused by carcinogenic agents. The estimated number of deaths in men was 5434 (59.6%). The estimated mortality attributable to Helicobacter pylori infection accounted for 48.3% and four agents (H. pylori, HCV, HPV, and HBV) accounted for 96.8% of all cancer deaths attributable to carcinogenic infections. The burden of cancer-related mortality attributable to carcinogenic infections in Spain during the period 2013-2017 was approximately 8%.
In Spain, one-twelfth of cancer deaths are attributable to carcinogenic infections. Public health measures aiming to reduce the impact of carcinogenic infections are essential.
致癌感染对癌症相关死亡率的影响尚不清楚。
估计致癌感染所致癌症的死亡率。根据国际疾病分类（ICD - 10），将被归类为人类1类致癌物的感染因子的归因分数应用于西班牙2013 - 2017年癌症死亡原因的年度数据。
估计有9115例死亡（在超过110287例癌症相关死亡中占8.3%）可归因于致癌因子引起的感染。男性的估计死亡人数为5434例（占59.6%）。幽门螺杆菌感染所致的估计死亡率占48.3%，四种因子（幽门螺杆菌、丙型肝炎病毒、人乳头瘤病毒和乙型肝炎病毒）占致癌感染所致所有癌症死亡的96.8%。2013 - 2017年期间西班牙致癌感染所致癌症相关死亡率负担约为8%。
在西班牙，十二分之一的癌症死亡可归因于致癌感染。旨在减少致癌感染影响的公共卫生措施至关重要。
