Cancer Skin Virus
Experts needs long enough time to learn what the real cause of skin cancer. And now”researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute”in the United States believe they have found.
Is a DNA virus in 80% tumor cells Merkell – called Merkel Cell Polymavirus (MCV) – the cause. These cells together in the genome of the tumor itself. Experts suspect the virus is deadly because it produces a cancer-causing proteins or beat genes that suppress tumor growth. “The information we obtained may lead to blood tests or vaccines that enhance the handling and helps prevent disease,” he said. Patrick Moore, who with colleagues published the findings in the journal Science.
Merkell cell carcinoma develops from certain nerve cells that react to touch or pressure. The event has tripled in the last 20 years, and now there are as many as 1500 cases per year in the United States. As many as 50% of patients with advanced disease live nine months or less.
The virus causes the most famous cancer is HPV or human papillomavirus, which can cause neck cancer and a target of two new vaccines anti-cancer, and Cervatix Gardasil, from Merck & Co Inc and GlaxoSmithKline Plc. Kaposi `s sarcoma. The most common hazardous conditions in AIDS patients and the most common cancer in Africa is caused by a virus.
