A member asked:
Hello. i just wanna ask if oral trush, can cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No sir.: Thrush is a fungal infection that to my knowledge, does not lead to cancer. However, it's often seen in cancer patients because they are immunosuppressed by the disease or the treatment. Good question.
