Trichomonas vaginalis: pathogenesis and its role in cervical.
Tricomonas vaginalis: patogénesis y su papel en el cáncer cervical.
Abstract
The objective of this article was to review and to analyze the possible role that Trichomonas vaginalis has as a co-factor in the origin and development of cervical cancer. For that purpose, the Latin-American and inter-national bibliography was reviewed using the Pub-Med, Google Scholar, Spring-er, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Scielo, Imbiomed-L, Redalyc and Latindex web sites. The searches included the key words: Trichomonas vaginalis, epi-demiology of Trichomonas vaginalis, epidemiology of cervical cancer, inflam-mation mechanisms, Trichomonas vaginalis and inflammation mechanisms, Trichomonas viruses, carcinogenesis, cervical cancer and co-factors, sexually transmitted infections and cervical cancer, cancer and inflammation mecha-nisms, Trichomonas vaginalis and cervical cancer. Publications from 1970 to June 2020 were reviewed and analyzed. This review article analyzes the possible mechanisms that Trichomonas vaginalis could play in the carcinogenesis of the cervical cancer as a co-factor with the human papilloma virus or as an indepen-dent factor.
