Awhile back someone asked if Helicobacter mustelae has been linked with
cancer in ferrets.  The answer is yes.  H. mustelae has been linked with
gastric adenocarcinoma and with gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue
(MALT) lymphoma.  This is similiar to H. pylori and cancer in people.  I
have not seen anything suggesting it can cause cancer in the pancreas or
anywhere else.
