Although the therapeutic effect of mycobacteria as antitumor agents has been known for decades, recent epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed that mycobacterium-related chronic inflammation may be a possible mechanism of cancer pathogenesis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium avium complex infections have been implicated as potentially contributing to the etiology of lung cancer, whereas Mycobacterium ulcerans has been correlated with skin carcinogenesis. The risk of tumor development with chronic mycobacterial infections is thought to be a result of many host effector mechanisms acting at different stages of oncogenesis. In this paper, we focus on the nature of the relationship between mycobacteria and cancer, describing the clinical significance of mycobacteria-based cancer therapy as well as epidemiological evidence on the contribution of chronic mycobacterial infections to the increased lung cancer risk.

“…According to data from 2016, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Poland and the third cause of cancer-related death in men. The overall mortality rate due to this disease slightly exceeds the European average (according to data from 2013, the mortality rate in Poland was 12.4/100,000, and 12.1/100,000 in the entire EU) (Religioni et al 2020).…”

“…Today, cancer is the leading cause of death in developed countries. Prostate cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed neoplastic disease, after lung cancer and colorectal cancer (Farhood et al 2018, Religioni et al 2020). According to data from 2016, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Poland and the third cause of cancer-related death in men.…”

Aims: The aim of the study was to analyze the activity of antioxidant enzymes (glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase) in order to determine the role of detoxification mechanisms in prostate cancer. The concentration of malondialdehyde, which is an indicator of lipid peroxidation in cancer patients, was also tested.Methods: The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase CAT and glutathione S-transferase (GST ) were measured using ready-made kits; lipid peroxidation intensity was determined by the thiobarbituric acid method.Results: Superoxide dismutase was the only enzyme among antioxidant and detoxification enzymes for which a statistically significant difference in activity was found between the studied groups [1.4 U * ml-1 in patients vs. 1.6 U * ml-1 in control]. No statistically significant differences were found for two other biomarkers of antioxidant activity (GST, CAT). There were also no statistically significant differences in the concentration of MDA between the group of men with prostate cancer and the control group.Conclusion: The lower SOD activity in men with prostate cancer may be due to a deficiency in their antioxidant defense system.

“…Compared to most OECD countries (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), Poland has lower rates of cancer morbidity, but at the same time higher cancer mortality. Per 100,000, statistically 237 people die, while the average for OECD countries is 201 deaths [ 7 ]. For many reasons, cancer patients constitute a special group of patients, among others, they have significantly reduced immunity and therefore they are exposed to viral infections to a greater extent than other patients.…”

Recently, the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the health situation of the entire society and necessitated reorganization of health care including oncology. The objective of this study was to examine the perception of medical services by cancer patients during the pandemic and to identify the key elements influencing the level of satisfaction with oncological care. Of note, 394 patients diagnosed with cancer treated in inpatient oncology wards participated in the study (Poland). The diagnostic survey method was used. A survey questionnaire developed by the authors was used and validated the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire. The calculations were made in Statistica 10.0 (Statsoft; 2011, Dell Inc., Round Rock, TX, USA). The average general level of satisfaction with oncological care in the study group was 80.77 out of a total score of 100, representing the highest level of satisfaction. Levels of satisfaction varied according to time since diagnosis (longer time—greater satisfaction) and were lower where treatment was delayed or perceived as disorganised. Nearly half of the respondents felt the threat of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, despite the fact that most of them believed that the hospital was well prepared to diagnose and treat cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Convincing patients about the proper preparation of health care for diagnostics and therapy is an important element influencing patient satisfaction with oncological care.
