‼️Wake-up to the possible ULTRA-LONG-C0vid! #LungCancer
➡️Interesting Chinees study synthesizing current epidemiological evidence, elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may influence lung carcinogenesis, and highlighting clinical implications to guide future research, screening, and therapeutic interventions.
➡️"It has been proven that although the SARS virus is not capable of integrating into the host genome, it uses the mechanisms of other human oncoviruses to cause lung cancer."
➡️Conclusions:
- "SARS-CoV-2 represents a complex variable in the landscape of lung cancer."
- "While the full extent of its long-term oncogenic implications is still unfolding, the current scientific understanding points towards a significant potential to fuel lung carcinogenesis through a sophisticated interplay of inflammatory, immunological, cellular, and genetic mechanisms."
The evidence is mounting: SARS-CoV-2 is not as harmless as some continue to claim, and we may see more cancer types linked to it over time, my personal belief. Don’t wait for the science support!

SARS-CoV damage can last 18+ years:
"More than half the SARS survivors still had symptomatic sequelae at 18 years"
"may have implications in predicting the prognosis of coronavirus-induced pathologies, including post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2"

Not only lungs. It's like saying kitchen knife can cause finger trauma. Yeah that's correct, but clearly not exhaustive.
Cool topic, Harry! The potential implications of long-term interactions between viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and carcinogenesis are crucial to investigate. Have the studies pinpointed any specific molecular pathways or cellular changes yet? The intersection of virology and oncology is indeed a field ripe for research.
