pubmed:abstractText
Asbestos is considered the main agent in causing the onset of the malignant pleural mesothelioma (MM), a fatal cancer of increasing incidence worldwide. Other factors may contribute to the onset/progression of MM, such as genetic predisposition and infection by oncogenic viruses, like simian virus 40 (SV40). SV40 was administered to human populations mainly with SV40-contaminated anti-polio vaccines. SV40 footprints have been detected in specific human tumours, including MM, and in healthy blood donors. The aim of this study was to verify the presence of SV40 sequences in buffy coats of healthy blood donors, inhabitants of Casale Monferrato, where MM is 10 times more prevalent compared to other areas.
