We have so many oncology patients who were either in remission or improving & then after one or more covid infections their cancer came back or worsened. I dread the thought of another infection while I'm fighting bladder cancer. I 💯 believe SARS-CoV-2 can be oncogenic.

“..:Patel and other concerned scientists are calling on the U.S. government to make this question [of whether Covid is causing rise in cancer] a priority knowing it could affect treatment and management of millions of cancer patients for decades to come.”

“‘I’ve been in practice 23 years and have never seen anything like this,’ oncologist Kashyap Patel said.

Asutosh Gor, another oncologist, agreed: ‘We were all shaken.’

There was other weirdness, too: multiple patients contending w multiple types of cancer arising almost simultaneously, and more than a dozen new cases of other rare cancers…. The uptick in aggressive, late-stage cancers since the…pandemic is confirmed by early national data and a number of large cancer institutions.

Many…dismissed the trend as a consequence of disruptions to health care that began in 2020.

But not everyone.

The idea that some viruses can cause or accelerate cancer is hardly new… 15 to 20 percent of all cancers worldwide originate from infectious agents…”

In vitro analysis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection differentially modulates cancer-like phenotypes and cytokine expression in colorectal and prostate cancer cells
In vitro analysis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection differentially modulates cancer-like phenotypes and cytokine expression in colorectal and prostate cancer cells
“Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection does influence various cancer cellular phenotypes and expression of molecular cancer markers and proinflammatory cytokines, albeit in a cell-type-specific manner. Our findings hint at the need for further studies and could have implications for evaluating the impact of other viruses on cancer progression.”
