Oncogenic Dna and Rna Viruses Causing the Cancer Pathogenesis

The present paper explore out the better-characterized and most intensively studied oncogenic viruses of humans and animals. Many DNA and RNA viruses have been proved to be oncogenic (or carcinogenic) in a variety of animals, ranging from amphibia to primates, and évidence grows stronger that certain forms of human cancer are of viral origin. Several DNA viruses have been associated with the ca...

The Biology of Oncogenic Viruses

New approaches are explored for historians, by 19 eminent writers, in 21 chapters of timely information. The historiography of ideas in medicine, as one aspect, notes that the historian of science is concerned with the thoughts that refer to facts and theories, be they true or not; whereas the scientist is concerned with facts and theories, asking whether they are true or not. Most of the metho...

Oncogenic viruses and hepatocellular carcinoma.

About 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections especially in the setting of established cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis, making HCC prevention a major goal of antiviral therapy. HCC tumors are highly complex and heterogeneous resulting from the aberrant function of multiple molecular pathways. The roles of HCV or HBV in ...
