While it's possible such a thing will be discovered, the list of cancer-causing infectious agents in the article was very limited. A few bugs cause a large number of cancer cases each.

Got this shit this year, I had huge symptoms. I'm on the second round of antibiotics trying to eliminate it. There are no guarantee that I won't get it again if I come to a cure period.

Thank you, I recommend testing. Specially if you visited some Asia countries for some period.
