Description and Table of Contents
Description
The possibility that some forms of tumourigenesis are a consequence of infection has provoked controversy for decades. The tools of molecular genetics and much careful epidemiology are now being employed in efforts to answer some of the outstanding questions. In this volume, an international group of experts survey tumours that have been associated with a range of micro-organisms, including viruses such as hepatitis and HIV, bacteria such as H.pylori and liver flukes, and provide a valuable summary of opinion on the relationship between these infections and malignant transformation.
