Insights into the Association Between Blastocystis Infection and Colorectal Cancer

20251 citationOpen accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Blastocystis infection was significantly higher in CRC patients, suggesting a possible association with the disease. It appears to act as an opportunistic pathogen, contributing to symptom development regardless of CRC. The absence of significant differences in ST distribution across groups indicates that Blastocystis pathogenicity is complex and not exclusively linked to specific STs.
