Advances in related research about the development of glioma and its relationship with human cytomegalovirus infection

Abstract

Cancer is a form of inflammation, which is different from common inflammation in that it is uncontrollable and difficult to identify pathogenic microorganisms. Most tumors are related to specific pathogenic microorganisms, especially viral infections. The relationship between gliomas and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection has been debated for decades. This article puts forward the author’s own point of view as an interpretation on the basis of objectively expounding the positive and negative points of view, and put forward a further solution to the dispute, for clinical reference.
