Is there a cancer virus?
Oncologist Andrei Kaprin said that the cancer virus does not exist. A person cannot get cancer after riding in an elevator or holding a handrail on public transport. But some of the existing viruses can actually cause cancer.
“Some viruses can provoke inflammatory processes and precancerous conditions,” the doctor explained during a conversation with Arguments and Facts.
In the future, they increase the risk of cancer. Experts call such viruses oncogenic. These include, for example, the human papillomavirus, which can be the causative agent of cervical cancer. And viral hepatitis groups B and C can become a risk factor for the development of liver cancer.
Vaccination can help against some viruses. This way you can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and influence the development of prostate cancer, reports ktv-ray.ru.
