Contents:
Ch. 1. Oncogenic viruses, cellular transformation and human cancers / Yanyan Zheng and Jing-hsiung James Ou -- ch. 2. Hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinogenesis / T.S. Benedict Yen -- ch. 3. Molecular mechanism of hepatitis C virus carcinogenesis / Keigo Machida, Jing-hsiung James Ou and Michael M.C. Lai -- ch. 4. Human papillomaviruses and associated malignancies / Christine L. Nguyen, Margaret E. McLaughlin-Drubin and Karl Münger -- ch. 5. Epstein-Barr virus and its oncogenesis / Hsin-Pai Li [and others] -- ch. 6. Human Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus : molecular biology and oncogenesis / Patrick J. Dillon and Blossom Damania -- ch. 7. Human T-cell leukemia virus 1 and cellular transformation / Ya-Hui Chi and Kuan-Teh Jeang.
Summary: Viruses are the causes of approximately 25% of human cancers. Due to their importance in carcinogenesis, there is a desperate need for a book that discusses these viruses. This book is therefore timely, providing a comprehensive review of the molecular biology of oncogenic viruses and the cancers they cause. Viruses that are discussed in the individual chapters include hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human papilloma viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, Kaposi's sarcoma virus and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1. This book provides up-to-date information for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, physicians and non-experts who are interested in learning more about the oncogenic viruses and how they cause human cancers.
