To help probe the issue of viral involvement in cancer, a study was reported in 2018 of a library of gene sequence data on file for a repository of normal and malignant human tissue samples from 3,052 participants across 22 different cancer types. Results showed that five viral families are prevalent in human cancer. These include the Papillomaviridae, Polyomoviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Herpesviridae. Viruses were detected in 7.5 – 98.8% of patients of seven cancers: bladder carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, rectum adenocarcinoma, and stomach adenocarcinoma. [Cantalupo PG, Katz JP, Pipas JM. Viral sequences in human cancer. Virology. 2018 Jan 1;513:208-216.] Having found that viral sequences were present in most of the files they analyzed from human tumor databases, the authors pointed out there are two possible explanations: first, a given virus may be present in human tissue because it infects humans, perhaps even contributing to tumorigenesis; and second, the viral detection may be due to an artifact. This seems to ignore additional uncertainties. Such studies showing evidence of a viral presence assume it to be an aggravating factor, a “driver” of malignancy and not necessarily a cause. However, if a low-level, smoldering, virus causes malignant transformation, once that is triggered, it need not continue growing in order for tumors to form and spread, so a low number of virus particles might end up being deadly but disregarded as having an important role if only present in low numbers or below level of detection. Also, there is the limitation that only known viral sequences were searched for, so no novel viruses could even be discovered by this survey. What is Creator’s perspective?

A recent paper describes a pretty convincing case study of a skin cancer caused by Human Papillomavirus. Was this accurately described?

You have told us that 85% of cancers are caused by viruses, and also that, contrary to dermatologists’ thinking, malignancies in the skin, including melanoma, are not due to sun exposure as much as it is to electromagnetic frequencies, which bombard people’s skin. What percent of skin carcinomas are caused by viruses?

If melanoma is caused by a virus, does successful eradication of the disease through surgery happen because the virus is confined to the tissue in or immediately adjacent to the actual malignant lesions? Or is there usually a remaining level of virus in the body, but suppressed enough by the immune system to not become a problem in most cases?

Are the cancer data researched in the official archives and reported in the book by Edward T. Haslam accurate, showing an alarming increase in lung, skin, lymphoma, prostate, and breast cancer between 1973 and 1988 compared to a number of other types that remained at constant levels?

A viewer asks: “There have been fields of therapy which promote the benefits of Sun exposure, and many youthful and less youthful people think that lying around in the Sun is great for you. We know that vitamin D is generated by skin exposure to the Sun and research indicates that sunscreen blocks that to a large extent (about up to 95%). Will using sunscreen really allow us to receive the benefits of sunshine? Is sunscreen again really the best defense against skin photoaging, and cancers?”

A viewer asks: “Are there still true health benefits of sunshine now that our Sun has been tampered with by the extraterrestrials to shorten its lifespan? Has this also increased the health liabilities of frequent sunlight exposure?”
