Original: 1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds

The finding highlights the role of viruses and bacteria, such as those linked to cervical and liver cancers, in the global cancer burden, and points to prevention through vaccination and treatment of infectious diseases as a major public health opportunity.
Why now: The study's estimate that a substantial share of cancers is preventable through infection control is striking new health news.
