One of the things that is complicated about this is that there is a long time between exposure to the virus and development of the cancer," says Bruce Johnson, MD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "Number two is that it's not a one-to-one thing. There are a lot more people who are exposed [to a virus] than have evidence of a tumor.
This objective�the holding and observation of primates could be readily accomplished in the Huntsville Prison where human primates were housed. Typically, in related contracts, during this period of cancer research, when monkeys were used, the contracts specifically stated �nonhuman primates.� The absence of this clarification strongly suggests humans�Huntsville Prisoners�were the experimental subjects.

Do you remember the technical name for his specific type of cancer? More and more types of cancer are being traced to virii, so it's starting to look like some strains of cancer are communicable (or at least the virus which leads to the cancer).
Prisons often have endemic virii, due to the high number of "undesireables" that end up there, and the close living quarters.
2 years sounds like a short time for any cancer I'm familiar with.
What country did this happen in?
