Adeno-Associated Virus Appears To Reduce Disease Risk.(cervical cancer )
2001 APR 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The presence of a virus appears to reduce the risk of cervical cancer by interfering with another virus that causes the disease, a new study suggests.
Some strains of the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, or HPV, cause cervical cancer. But women with high levels of the adeno-associated virus, or AAV, are less likely to develop precancerous cervical lesions, said University of South Carolina researcher Ann Coker, the lead author of the study.
"The mechanism by which AAV inhibits cervical cancer is not yet clear," Coker said. "However, there is growing evidence that both viruses infect the same tissue and interaction occurs between the viruses."
The researchers tested 313 women. AAV was present in nearly 71% of those women who had normal Pap smears but was present in only about 54% of those with advanced precancerous cervical lesions. The study was published in the April 2001 issue of Experimental and Molecular Pathology.
"It is an interesting observation because if there is another virus associated with cervical cancer and if it helps to separate the bad actors from the good actors, it could potentially be quite ...
