BK virus infection and urothelial carcinoma following kidney transplantation

Main Article Content

Abstract

Although a potential relationship between human polyomavirus BK (BK virus) infection and human malignancy is debated, the role of the BK virus in urothelial carcinoma development in a renal transplant recipient remains unclear. Recent reports suggested novel BK virus strain may play a key role in carcinogenesis. In this review, we report our experiences and outline the latest knowledge about the relationship between BK virus infection and carcinogenesis in urinary tract cancers.
