Opportunistic Invasive Fungal Infections Mimicking Progression of Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer. So says the headline in the medical journal, Lung in 2021 (1). It was a small study, but it clearly indicates the importance of ruling out fungus first if you are diagnosed with lung (or any other type of) cancer. These results speak for themselves and empower all of we lay people to know beyond a doubt that we may want to very carefully shop for our cancer doctors.
“A total of 12 patients with proven or probable invasive mold infection (including 8 cases of aspergillosis) and 1 patient with proven cryptococcosis were identified, without any cases of mucormycosis. Of this cohort, 6 patients (46%) showed radiographic findings that were found to be most consistent with lung cancer by radiologists. Eight cases (62%) were suspected of cancer recurrence or progression by the treatment team on the basis of additional considerations of medical history and clinical symptoms. Most patients had active NSCLC or had a history of recurrence without active NSCLC at the time of fungal discovery (11 patients; 85%). Most patients died without full recovery (7 patients; 54%).”
One might surmise that most of these patients died, not from cancer, but from misdiagnosed fungal infections. As you may recall, in 2022 fungi or fungal DNA was found within 35 different types of cancer.
