Book Synopsis

Cancer-causing viruses, also called oncoviruses, play a key role in the development of certain cancers. They contribute to genetic changes that disrupt the cell cycle machinery, interfering with functions such as cell growth. Cancer-Causing Viruses and Their Inhibitors presents a plethora of research from internationally reputed contributors who discuss different types of oncoviruses, their mechanisms of invasion and growth, and their life cycles.

The book begins with an overview of the oncoviruses discovered to date and includes a brief description of their structures, genotypes, replication, and mechanisms of infection leading to cancers. It then explores several of these viruses in detail, including:

  • Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV)

  • EpsteinBarr virus (EBV)

  • Human papilloma virus (HPV)

  • Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8)/Kaposi's sarcoma-associat
