In Britain, at a 61-year-old man with a diagnosis of oncology, all the symptoms of cancer disappeared, after he had a bit of coronavirus. It is reported by Focus.
Experts consider this case with a huge rarity, and also assume that coronavirus infection could destroy cancer cells in the patient’s body.
The patient was diagnosed by Limph Hodgkin and appointed a course of chemotherapy, but before treatment he infected COVID-19, could not pass it on the designated time frame. After receiving a negative test to Coronavirus, a man was examined for oncology, and it turned out that cancer cells in its body are missing.
“We believe that COVID-19 caused an antitumor immune response,” said Sarah Challoner, doctor of the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
It is assumed that in the body of a man there were many T-cells – white blood cells capable of destroying the cells infected with the virus. In addition, doctors argue that after all, in rare cases, the infection can suppress cancer. And this case was already fixed in 1893.
