Article Synopsis
- This study explores the connection between non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) and certain viruses: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human papillomavirus (HPV).
- The researchers found that 75% of NMSC samples tested positive for at least one virus, with HPV being particularly frequent (43%) in NMSC compared to only 6.7% in non-cancerous samples.
- The findings suggest a potential link between HPV and NMSC, as well as associations between MCPyV and UV exposure and EBV with immune system compromise, indicating a need for further research on the role of these viruses in skin cancer development.
