Human Cancer Viruses: Principles of Transformation and Pathogenesis (Translational Research in Biomedicine)
By John Nicholas, Kuan-Teh Jeang, T. C. Wu
Publisher: S. Karger AG (Switzerland)
Number Of Pages: 244
Publication Date: 2008-06-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3805585764
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783805585767
Product Description:
The first identification of a tumor-causing virus, Rous sarcoma
virus, occurred almost 100 years ago, but it was not until the 1970s
that the genetic basis for oncogenesis by this and other acutely
transforming retroviruses was appreciated. Since then, numerous viral
oncogenes and their corresponding cellular proto-oncogene counterparts
have been identified, and these studies have contributed much to our
understanding of crucially important aspects of cell biology and
transformation. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the 6
major viruses that cause human cancers - HPV, HBV, HCV, EBV, KSHV and
HTLV-1 - with respect to their molecular biology and epidemiology and
to clinical aspects of disease, therapy and prevention.Contributed by
over a dozen internationally renowned scientists, the chapters are
comprehensively written and illustrated. This book is suitable for
advanced students, postdoctoral researchers, scientists and clinicians
who wish to understand the mechanisms leading to cellular
transformation and oncogenesis by these viruses as a basis for the
development of specific therapeutic and antiviral treatments.
