Covid and Cancer
NEW review explores how SARS-CoV-2 may influence cancer risk.
➡️ Unlike classical oncogenic viruses, it doesn’t insert viral oncogenes. Instead, its proteins:
-Inhibit tumor suppressors -Activate growth, survival & inflammation pathways
👉 Potential role in cancer initiation & progression. 1/
“For a brief moment in time, media acknowledged COVID is causing the skyrocketing cancer rates in young people (& everyone else).
In 2025, everyone has forgotten again, & we aren’t anywhere near “after the pandemic.” This is after all of science spent 2020-2024 acknowledging COVID is likely oncogenic & definitely causes immunodeficiency.
The money monsters are salivating. Think of the profit opportunities!”

6 patients with inflammatory bowel disease were infected with SARSCoV2, then diagnosed with anorectal cancer.
Detection of the SarsCov2 protein in ALL tumors raises questions about its role in the development of colorectal cancer.
“has been hypothesized that inflammation related to SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect cancer cell proliferation, without having a direct oncogenic effect.
➡️IBD-associated CRC (colorectal cancer) arises from a specific carcinogenic pathway involving chronic inflammation which is distinct from the traditional pathways.”
“New study links cancer patients and long Covid symptoms.
More than one in two cancer patients experienced symptoms of long Covid-19 for more than six months after initial infection.”
“COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests The early-stage research focused only on animal models, but scientists say it ‘offers hope’”
“SARS-COV-2 and cancer: So, what's the evidence, can SARS-COV-2 itself cause cancer, & separately can it increase risk & rapidity of death from existing cancers, & reactivate dormant cancers?
Let's start with what causes cancer 🧵”
