COVID-19 Virus Can Shrink Cancer Tumours: New Study Reveals
The study also showed that the RNA in the COVID-19 virus could incite the production of new immune cells that target and destroy cancer. These new cells can enter tumors and kill the cancer cells directly. Promising results in reducing tumors have been seen using human tissues and animal models.
COVID-19's silver lining? Researchers find the virus has ability to fight cancer
"It's incredible, and a big surprise, that the same infection that caused so much devastation can help create a cancer-fighting cell," said Dr. Ankit Bharat, chief of thoracic surgery and director of the Canning Thoracic Institute.
Covid-19 can attack cancer tumours: New study uncovers a surprising side of the virus
Researchers have discovered that the Covid-19 virus can trigger the immune system to attack cancer cells. The virus's RNA prompts the creation of a unique immune cell that effectively targets and destroys tumors.
