COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests
A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that COVID was linked to cancer regression, which could serve as a foundation for new cancer treatments in the future.
COVID-19 virus may have a surprising benefit — it might be able to shrink certain tumors
A preclinical study finds that the COVID-19 virus can trigger the development of an immune cell that can fight cancer.
COVID-19’s Surprising Effect on Cancer
Researchers found that the COVID-19 virus triggers immune changes that may one day be harnessed to help fight cancer.
COVID-19's silver lining? Researchers find the virus has ability to fight cancer
"It's incredible, and a big surprise, that the same infection that caused so much devastation can help create a cancer-fighting cell," said Dr. Ankit Bharat, chief of thoracic surgery and director of the Canning Thoracic Institute.
Severe COVID-19 may shrink cancer tumors, early data suggest
Immune cells produced during severe COVID-19 infection may shrink tumors. The unexpected mechanism offers a new therapeutic possibility for advanced and treatment-resistant cancers.
Northwestern study links COVID-19 RNA to cancer-fighting cells
So, researchers at Northwestern started their journey to figure out why this might be happening. They discovered when someone gets badly infected with COVID, the virus can actually enter the bloodstream, shedding its RNA. That gets circulated and becomes a very common immune cell called monocytes.
New study shows severe COVID-19 may shrink cancer cells
New research from Northwestern Medicine shows that in some cases of severe COVID, the immune response actually killed cancer cells. Researchers are trying to harness that immune power into new cancer therapies.
Northwestern Medicine researches find way to use COVID-19 to fight cancer
Director of Northwestern’s Canning Thoracic Institute Dr. Ankit Bharat said he and other researchers found when our immune systems attack the COVID virus, the RNA molecule inside triggers our white blood cells.
