NON-ONCOGENIC ACUTE VIRAL INFECTIONS DISRUPT ANTI-CANCER RESPONSES AND LEAD TO ACCELERATED CANCER-SPECIFIC HOST DEATH

Non-oncogenic Acute Viral Infections Disrupt Anti-cancer Responses and Lead to Accelerated Cancer-Specific Host Death

In light of increased cancer prevalence and cancer-specific deaths in patients with infections, we investigated whether infections alter anti-tumor immune responses.We report that acute influenza infection of the lung promotes distal Fenugreek melanoma growth in the dermis and leads to accelerated cancer-specific host death.Furthermore, we show tha
