New insights on the association between the prostate cancer and the small DNA tumour virus, BK polyomavirus

摘要: In recent years the scientific literature in field of prostate carcinoma (PCa) pointed out on genetic heterogeneity and mutations occurring this tumour, while little attention was given to causes PCa onset, particular infectiuos agents. brief commentary, we wish point advancements done role human polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) development by harnessing both humoral cellular immune responses. Altogether, these new insights suggest that BKPyV is involved transforming activity during multistep process development. Although findings do not provide evidence for a causal relationship between development, additional investigations with novel techniques will help make it concrete event.
