چکیده    Candida albicans (c. albicans) is an opportunistic fungus that usually colonizes specific parts of the human body and tends to infect hosts with immunocompromised function, including cancer patients. several studies have pointed to the direct or indirect involvement of (c. albicans) in oral, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, liver, breast, and skin cancers. so, this article reviews the relationship between c. albicans and various cancers and describes the mechanisms by which this fungus may be involved in the occurrence and development of these cancers. for this reason, keywords such as: candida, cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, risk factors and epidemiology were searched. articles published in scientific databases, such as google scholar, pubmed/medline, elsevier, and scopus, were used. in these articles, it is mentioned that c. albicans may play a role in the occurrence and development of various cancers via several mechanisms, such as modulation of the immune system, induction of matrix metalloproteinases, over-expression of prognostic marker genes related to metastatic events, damaging mucosal epithelium, microbiome changes, activation of oncogenic signalling pathways, induction of chronic inflammation and production of carcinogenic metabolites including nitrosamine and acetaldehyde.
