Infections Causing Human Cancer
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2006, Pages: 531
Infections must be thought of as an important, if not the most important risk factors for cancer development in humans. Approximately 15-20% of the worldwide cancer burden is caused by viruses, among them the second most frequent cancer in women, cervical cancer, and about 80% of liver cancers. This figure will almost double if other cancers currently associated with specific virus infections are proved to be caused by such agents. Since early 1990s the number of scientific publications dealing with infection induced tumorigenesis has risen substantially.
Although in 1998 and 1999 four books on virus induced cancer development were published, no book has been published to date describing the role of viruses, bacteria, parasite and protozoon induced tumorigenesis. Thus, an update is long overdue. Prof. zu Hausen is one of the leading scientists in this field with an outstanding international reputation and will be able to turn this book project into a great success.
