Dear Group,
So often I've read that actually cancer is -- or is caused by --
fungus (because of many domino-falling-type failures in the body).
Hope this document will be helpful to you.

Abstract and Introduction
Abstract
Invasive fungal infections, especially candidiasis and aspergillosis,
are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Many controversies
surround the management of these infections. A critical overview of
the recent Infectious Diseases Society of America practice guidelines
is provided, as are comments on both the conundrums and future
perspectives in medical mycology.
Introduction
nvasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and
mortality in numerous patients with debilitation and
immunosuppression.[1] Medical progress, continued expansion of the
patient population with immune dysfunction, and the acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic
account for this surge.[1] Fungal infections will continue to be major
health issues well into the 21st century.[1]
