Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center are developing studies on a virus that is linked to the second most deadliest form of skin cancer. The researchers looked at tissue from 58 that have "squamous cell carcinoma" which is a form of skin cancer that is expected to hit more than 200,000 Americans in this year.
The virus was found in 15 percent of these tissues tested. Researches believe the virus develops a mutation as it is in the immune system and that causes a strong role in development in cancer. More studies are being preformed everyday in order to get a answer on how to stop this from happening.
