Description
This valuable new book describes the molecular biology and pathogenesis of certain viruses linked with human cancers. It provides an up-to-date account of the progress in our knowledge of the virus/host interactions which lead to cancer, as well as insights on the complexity of virus/host interactions in general, most of which have yet to be delineated. The volume also offers an historical perspective of cancer viruses as well as an examination of the geographical distribution and prevalence of cancers. Human Tumor Viruses is essential reading for researchers and graduate students in virology, cell biology, pathology, and oncology and for anyone engaged in cancer research.
