ABSTRACT
Objective. To describe the epidemiological studies about
the relationship between lung cancer (LC) and pulmonary
tuberculosis (Tb) and its possible molecular mechanisms.
Materials
and methods. We reviewed research databases
in search of publications that included keywords LC and Tb.
Results. It has been proposed that chronic inflammation
in the lungs due to Tb could cause clastogenic activity in the
DNA of bronchial epithelium. Another possibility is lateral
gene transfer; since Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) is
an intracellular organism, bacterial DNA could integrate to
bronchial epithelial cells inducing neoplastic transformation.
Conclusions. There are epidemiological reports, particularly
from Asian countries, which confirm a relationship
between LC and Tb. MTb could play an active role in cellular
transformation and it is important to elucidate the mechanism
involved.
