Cancer Link to Vaccine Discovered
San Francisco Chronicle Scientists have found traces of a monkey virus that contaminated the
polio vaccine in the 1950s in a common form of highly malignant human
cancer that has mysteriously doubled in incidence over the past 30 years. Two studies, published Friday in the British journal Lancet, found a
link between the virus, called SV40, and nonHodgkin's lymphomas, a disorder
ranked fourth or fifth among cancer deaths in the United States among
women and men, respectively. Results suggest that the virus may playa much wider role in cancer than
suspected. The scientists added that their findings may also offer hope for new
therapies for the malignancies. The Salk polio vaccine, administered by injection in the United States
and worldwide from 1955 through 1963, was grown on minced kidney tissue
from rhesus monkeys. |
