COVID insights on viruses and cancer
Scientists are studying whether COVID-19 infection can trigger the recurrence of dormant breast cancer cells, based on preliminary findings.

While no definitive causal link has been established, experts emphasize the importance of precautions and vaccination for cancer survivors to reduce the risk of severe viral infections.
