Why Do Viruses Act So Differently? – Sbarro Health Research Organization
Sbarro Health Research Organization shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A newly published narrative review in BMC Medicine sheds light on a striking paradox in cancer care: the same virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), is responsible for both cervical cancer and an increasing number of throat cancers, specifically oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), yet the two diseases behave in fundamentally different ways.
The review, led by scientists from the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) at Temple University and University of Messina, urges the medical community to address the critical treatment divide.
‘It’s as if the virus speaks the local language of each tissue’ – said Dr. Antonio Giordano, President of SHRO. ‘Our review maps what we know and, more importantly, what we still don’t’.”
