Prostate Cancer: Virus now implicated in some cases...

[Guest guest]

Of interest: From the Washington Post:

" Researchers reporting online in yesterday's (Sept 8?) Proceedings of

the National Academy of Sciences think prostate cancer

<http://www.cancer.gov/cancerinfo/types/prostate> may be related to a

virus <http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/alllife/virus.html>. Scientists at

Columbia University and the University of Utah have determined that a

virus that's already known to cause certain other cancers in animals is

present in human prostate cancer cells. "

Which begs the question - does a needle biopsy of any cancer tumor

spread the virus?

The medical community has been telling us for years that cancer is not a

virus, although it is known for certain that some cancers ARE indeed

virus linked....

Interesting!
