Pathogens as Causes of Cancer, Jorma Jyrkkanen’s Tweets
20 January 2012
These tweets point to the importance of cancer prevention as a very desirable direction for society.
High risk HPV known to cause cancers of the penis, vagina and vulva. http://1.usa.gov/ztS0H6 I suspect more. EBV, an occasional B-cell mutagen, linked to Hodgkin’s lymphoma, stomach and nasal cancers. Vaccine being sought. HMTV is sometimes associated with Human breast cancers. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20503403
Kaposi’s Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus=>Human herpesvirus 8 are Probable 2A Carcinogenic viruses (KSHV/HHV8). JC Polyoma virus probably cause colon and colorectal cancers. HTLV-1 can cause cancer. IARC Vol67, 1996. HIV-2, Lav-2 cell line can cause Acute lymphocytic leukemia. The human Herpes virus 31 and 33 can cause cervical cancers, p testicular cancers and possibly oropharyngeal cancers and possibly more. The HIV Aids virus can cause Kapozi’s sarcoma. The hepatitis B bacteria can cause liver cancer. The gut bacteria Helicobacter pylori can cause stomach cancer. The blood parasite Schistosoma haematobium can cause bladder cancer.
There is also an interaction between pathogens and chemicals which may play a role in cancer causality that needs to be investigated. Other pathogens than those ones I mentioned may also play a role in cancers by immune suppression, synergisms and cancer promotion. I believe that the pathogen vector route as a cause of cancer I have defined is just the tip of the iceberg. I therefore concluded in 2001 an important cause of human cancers are pathogens that can be transmitted. Gardacil demonstrated a cure.
What do I know for sure. Pathogens, chemicals, mutagens can all cause cancers in humans. Where should we focus research? Prevention? PreventablePathogenCancers-penis vagina vulva Hodgkin’s stomach nasal breast colon colorectal cervical sarcoma liver stomach bladder acute lymphocytic leukemia.
