COVID-19 News: SARS-CoV-2 Is Likely An Oncogenic Virus That Will Cause Lung, Colorectal, Oral, Pancreatic And Breast Cancers In The Long Term!

COVID-19 News: As the world continues to grapple with the far-reaching implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran, Imperial College London in the UK, and the University of Newcastle in Australia have embarked on a critical investigation into the potential long-term health consequences of the virus. One alarming aspect that has come to light is the possible oncogenic potential of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which could lead to the development of cancers in various organs, including the lungs, colorectal tract, oral cavity, pancreas, and breasts. While the findings are speculative and necessitate further research, this COVID-19 News report will delve into the intricate web of connections between SARS-CoV-2 and oncogenesis, shedding light on how the virus may employ various mechanisms to increase cancer susceptibility in affected individuals.
