Firstly, this is because viruses cannot truly be isolated in pure culture-even stringent isolation techniques cannot exclude undetected contaminating viruses with similar density characteristics, and viruses must be grown on cells. (wikipedia.org)
Furthermore, hospital ambulatory patients are known to differ from office patients in their demographic characteristics and medical aspects (reference 3). (cdc.gov)
Infection5
The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer estimated that in 2002, infection caused 17.8% of human cancers, with 11.9% caused by one of seven viruses. (wikipedia.org)
Generally, tumor viruses cause little or no disease after infection in their hosts, or cause non-neoplastic diseases such as acute hepatitis for hepatitis B virus or mononucleosis for Epstein-Barr virus. (wikipedia.org)
Secondly, asymptomatic virus infection and carriage is the norm for most tumor viruses, which violates Koch's third principle. (wikipedia.org)

By any rational standard, the mRNA vaccines are true vaccines in every sense of the word since they end up educating the human immune system to recognize a specific type of viral protein antigen which then causes this now educated immune system to specifically target the COVID-19 virus prior to an actual infection by the live virus. (educatetruth.com)
Differ1
These two mechanisms differ in their biology and epidemiology: direct tumor viruses must have at least one virus copy in every tumor cell expressing at least one protein or RNA that is causing the cell to become cancerous. (wikipedia.org)
Forms2
Tumor viruses come in a variety of forms: Viruses with a DNA genome, such as adenovirus, and viruses with an RNA genome, like the hepatitis C virus (HCV), can cause cancers, as can retroviruses having both DNA and RNA genomes (Human T-lymphotropic virus and hepatitis B virus, which normally replicates as a mixed double and single-stranded DNA virus but also has a retroviral replication component). (wikipedia.org)
In 1996, there were 21,902 Patient Record forms provided by 392 EDs and 29,806 Patient Record forms provided by 235 OPDs that participated in the survey. (cdc.gov)
Human2
The vast majority of human and animal viruses do not cause cancer, probably because of longstanding co-evolution between the virus and its host. (wikipedia.org)
Finally, the host restriction for human viruses makes it unethical to experimentally transmit a suspected cancer virus. (wikipedia.org)
Actual2
This means that, in the future, this immune system will more rapidly and effectively be able to attack the actual live virus if the body is ever infected by it. (educatetruth.com)
Chemotherapy in particular is also frequently associated with significant side effects, which are often perceived by patients as worse than the actual disease, and have in the past led to the termination of treatment, particularly in under-aged patients.16 However, even with treatment success, long-term adverse effects and treatment-induced secondary cancers are, with extended life expectancies, also becoming increasingly a problem.

Samples2
A 2020 study of 2,658 samples from 38 different types of cancer found that 16% were associated with a virus. (wikipedia.org)
The NHAMCS provides data from samples of patient records selected from the emergency departments (EDs) and outpatient departments (OPDs) of a national sample of hospitals. (cdc.gov)

In many cases, tumor viruses do not cause cancer in their native hosts but only in dead-end species. (wikipedia.org)
These two mechanisms differ in their biology and epidemiology: direct tumor viruses must have at least one virus copy in every tumor cell expressing at least one protein or RNA that is causing the cell to become cancerous. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] Chronic indirect tumor viruses, on the other hand, can be lost (at least theoretically) from a mature tumor that has accumulated sufficient mutations and growth conditions (hyperplasia) from the chronic inflammation of viral infection. (wikipedia.org)
In this latter case, it is controversial but at least theoretically possible that an indirect tumor virus could undergo "hit-and-run" and so the virus would be lost from the clinically diagnosed tumor. (wikipedia.org)
Do you recall when Bob got interested in tumor viruses for the first time? (nih.gov)
A study of lung cancer patients found significantly higher 5-year survival rates and tumor regression rates in those who received melatonin each evening while undergoing chemotherapy compared with those who received chemotherapy alone. (lifeextension.com)
AIDS2
Because foreign virus antigens are expressed in these tumors, persons who are immunosuppressed such as AIDS or transplant patients are at higher risk for these types of cancers. (wikipedia.org)

Strains2
We were doing work on enteric viruses in water and sewage and, at that time, I was also collecting fecal specimens from Albert Sabin's polio vaccine experiments to determine what quantities of Poliovirus were in feces, and we were using his vaccine strains in his volunteers as some indication of what you could find in raw feces.

An epidemiological study found that patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery during the summer and had higher vitamin D intake (greater than 596 IU daily) had a significantly longer period of recurrence-free survival and overall survival than those who underwent surgery during the winter and had low vitamin D intake (less than 239 IU daily and no vitamin D supplements).

Stevenson: Before we get started on that, maybe we could go back in time and kind of pick up where Bob Huebner got started with virus cancer type investigations. (nih.gov)
And up until I knew Bob from the Cancer Institute, I had been at the Public Health Service in Cincinnati and knew him more in terms of Adenoviruses and a variety of enteric viruses which his laboratory had been very instrumental in discovering, developing and, in fact, he supplied us with Adenovirus Type 3, which we used in disinfection studies and things like that.

Studies1
This term originated from studies of acutely transforming retroviruses in the 1950-60s, when the term "oncornaviruses" was used to denote their RNA virus origin. (wikipedia.org)
