new YORK (Reuters Health) – a team found that almost
36,000 adults in Taiwan with shingles, or herpes, had the
equal chance of developing cancer than the population
general.
herpes is a painful disorder that occurs by a
reactivation of the virus that causes chickenpox (varicella zoster).
after chickenpox, the virus remains in a State of
latency on the nerve of the body. fibers
years ago, doctors thought that you people with
shingles might have more risk than the rest of suffering a
cancer undiagnosed or develop it in the future. but
several investigations contradicted him. and results
published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal they soothed
even more.
This is one of the first studies on population
< p> Asian. in Taiwan, people with herpes are carried them out
more controls cancer that the rest, according to said doctor
Lin Yi-Tsung, the General Veterans Hospital, Taipei.
“our results suggest that such research would be
unnecessary”, Lin told Reuters Health by email.
in United States, doctors have just suspend those
controls to patients with herpes, said Dr.
Len Lichtenfeld, Deputy Chief Medical American society
of Cancer. the theory indicates: if having shingles is a sign of
low immune defenses, then tumor cells
could also overcome them.
“is accepted that should not make an assessment
(Oncology) to people with herpes”, said Lichtenfeld, who
he argued that the important part of the study is that you occurred in Asia,
while que la mayorÃa de los estudios previos sobre cáncer y
herpes provenÃa de occidente.
Los resultados surgen de 35.871 adultos con herpes tratados
entre el 2000 y el 2008. nl ese perÃodo, een 895 se les
diagnosticó cáncer nl algún momento despues de la Detection del
herpes. Ese resultado es algo menor que los 905 casos que se
esperarÃan en la población algemene.
La cifra se mantuvo al ontleden een los participantes según
grupos etarios y de género.
Lichtenfeld recomendó que las personas que tuvieron herpes
consulten al médico si les preocupan nuevos sÃntomas. Pero
aclaró que niet hay motivo para realizarles la pesquisa oncológica
a las personas que desarrollan culebrilla.
Los estudios sugieren que el 25 por ciento de la población
tiene herpes nl algún momento de la vida. Comienza con un dolor
que branden of jeuk aan de ene kant van het lichaam, gevolgd door blaren
met vloeistof. de meerderheid van de gevallen gaan weg met medicijnen,
