Common childhood virus found to play a hidden role in bladder cancer development: Study
A common childhood virus, BK virus, dormant in the urinary tract, is now linked to DNA damage increasing bladder cancer risk. Research reveals how the body's antiviral response can inadvertently harm its own DNA, explaining cancer development even without viral traces. This discovery offers new prevention avenues beyond smoking cessation.
