New evidence suggests COVID-19 may have long-term effects, including increasing cancer risk.
🔬 Key Points:
- Chronic Inflammation: Excessive cytokine release (IL-6) may drive cancer.
- Genetic Changes:*SARS-CoV-2 can cause mutations linked to cancer.
- Co-Infections: Viruses like Epstein-Barr and HPV may increase cancer risk in #COVID19 survivors.
🩺 Takeaway: Post-COVID cancer surveillance is essential. More research is needed to fully understand this connection.
