<p>The immune system fights a huge number of viruses on a regular basis. Some, however, make it past the body's first line of defense and cause serious problems. A herpes virus may cause Kaposi sarcoma, which is a cancer of the blood vessels, and two types of lymphoma. Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1, a lifelong condition with no treatment, can cause leukemia and lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also a virus with no treatment or vaccine, can cause blood cancer in adults and children by switching genes involved in cancer development on and off, according to 2016 research by University of Sussex.</p><p>Some research has linked long-term hepatitis C virus infection with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to the American Cancer Society.</p><p>HIV virus has not been proven to cause blood cancer directly. However, it destroys white blood cells and weakens the body's immune system, which may lead to other viruses, such as HPV, that might cause cancer. HIV has been linked to a higher risk of Kaposi sarcoma and cervical cancer and NHL.</p>
