The pair found "footprints" - antibodies produced by the body in response to the herpes viruses - in 56 patients with cancers of the lip, mouth, nose and throat, kidney, bladder, prostate, cervix and vulva. There was no trace of the antibodies in 81 patients with other malignancies, such as cancers of the lung, breast and lymphatic system, or in 51 patients without cancer...
