What else can I help you with?
Are viruses a cause of cancer?
Some can cause cancer. They are called oncogenic viruses.
Can marijuana protect you from a virus?
NO! Are you kidding me? It's infections, your going to get viruses depending on the type of cancer you get. And cancer has viruses.
Is there a link between viruses and the development of cancer?
Yes, there is a link between certain viruses and the development of cancer. Some viruses, known as oncogenic or cancer-causing viruses, can interfere with normal cell processes, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. Examples include human papillomavirus (HPV), which is associated with cervical cancer, and hepatitis B and C viruses, which can lead to liver cancer. These viruses can alter the host's genetic material, promoting malignancy.
What are cancer causing viruses known as?
The pathogens that cause cancer are called, "Carcinogens."
What are cancer causing viruses called?
Oncoviruses.
Do viruses really kill cancer cell?
no
Cancer-causing irritants which trigger viruses?
Smoking is a cancer-causing irritant which can trigger viruses. Smoking can cause allergies which can lead to a weakened immune system.
How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Viruses can be engineered to specifically target and infect cancer cells, causing them to die. Some viruses can also stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, certain viruses have the ability to directly interfere with the replication process of cancer cells, leading to their death.
What are oncolytic viruses?
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.
Cancer-causing viruses are known as?
Cancer-causing viruses are known as oncogenic viruses or tumour viruses. These viruses can integrate their genetic material into the host cell's DNA, disrupting normal cellular functions and promoting uncontrolled cell growth, which can lead to the development of cancer. Examples of oncogenic viruses include human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV). These viruses can cause various types of cancer, such as cervical cancer (HPV), liver cancer (HBV and HCV), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (EBV), and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (HTLV).
Does microbes contribute to cancer?
Yes, there are carcinogenic viruses.
What is The most conclusice evidence that viruses can cause cancer provided by?
The cancer that was a result of the injection of cell-free filtrate is the most definitive proof that viruses can cause cancer. The difficulty however in observing viruses is one among the many causes of slow development of cancer etiology.
