摘要: A significant percentage of human cancers worldwide are associated with infections due to known viruses, including papillomaviruses (cervical cancer and other skin cancers), T-lymphotropic viruses (adult T-cell leukemias lymphomas in endemic areas), hepatitis B virus (liver cancer), Epstein-Barr (Burkitt lymphoma nasopharyngeal carcinoma). The fraction attributable infection may now need be revised light the fact that new viral associations have been discovered nonviral identified. This article addresses increasingly recognized role infectious agents as precipitants neoplasia possibility novel diagnostic, therapeutic, chemopreventive strategies emanate directly from research directed at identifying understanding these agents.
