Abstract

Aim: We conducted a case–control study to examine the presence of BK virus (BKV) and Epstein barr virus (EBV) genome in prostate specimens of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) in Iran. Materials & methods: 64 paraffin-embedded PCa specimens were included as case subjects and 57 paraffin-embedded BPH specimens as control. DNA extraction was carried out by phenol–chloroform technique and PCR for detection of BKV and EBV. Results: 90 (73%) out of 121 specimens were collected by prostatectomy and 31 (27%) by transurethral resection of the prostate. BKV was not detected in any of the samples and one positive EBV was reported. Conclusion: These findings provide further evidence against a causative role of BKV and EBV in the development of PCa.
