Studies have shown that human polyomavirus infection may be associated with various human cancers. We investigated the potential relationship between the prevalence of JCPyVor BKPyV and prostate cancer (PC) in patients from Taiwan. Patients with PC and benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH; 76 and 30 pat...
