The objective of the present study is to detect of toxoplasmosis infected patients compared with cancer patients attending the Unit of Tumors in the Medical City, in compared with together healthy individuals as a control group. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay ELIZA was used to investigate the anti- Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, type IgM and IgG. However, the tumor antibody in serum and its relationship with other affecting factors was detected by Ca19-9 test. The study involved 148 are cancer patients, while 59 are apparently healthy individuals (control group) and 59 are infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Blood specimens were taken from all studied individuals from the period 1st January 2016 to 30th December 2016. Results of this study revealed that 52.24% of cancer patients and 30.5% of the control group had chronic toxoplasmosis disease. 15.73% of cancer patients had acute Toxoplasma infection. However, 33.89% of toxoplasmosis patients had a cute infection. There have been no cases of the control group showed results of the study; also there were no significant differences at the level of probability of P <0.001.
