       Respiratory viruses may trigger dormant cancers

       A study in mice showed how common respiratory viruses may awaken
       dormant cancer cells.
       The findings suggest these viruses can pose additional risks for
       people with a history of cancer.
       Studies have shown that cancer metastasis can be triggered by
       inflammation. Infection by respiratory viruses, such as
       influenza and SARS-CoV-2, often causes inflammation. A research
       team led by Dr. James DeGregori at the University of Colorado
       Anschutz Medical Campus set out to test whether respiratory
       virus infections might cause DCCs to awaken. To do this, they
       used mouse models of breast cancer to study the effects of
       influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infection on DCCs and metastasis in the
       lungs. The study appeared in Nature on July 30, 2025.
