[Changes of infection of the prostate tissue by Herpesviridae family viruses and HPV in prostate cancer patients depending on the stage of the pathological process].

The role of infection in the beginning and progression of prostate cancer is not known to the end at the moment. Experimental data, presented in the article, are obtained by hybridization in situ and demonstrate high degree of infection of the prostate tissue by viruses with the oncogenic and oncomodulation properties HCMV, EBV, HHV8 and HPV. The authors revealed that in patients at different substages of T2 stage infection of the prostate tissue increased from T2a to T2c. The importance of these findings is discussed.
