This book offers a state-of-the-art report on recent discoveries
concerning viral, bacterial, and parasite infectious cancers.
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death and diseases in
human populations, and 15%-25% of human cancers in worldwide are
considered to result from chronic infection by pathogens. Most
oncology textbooks address genetic mutation, but not infectious
agents such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. As such this book
stimulates further research in the new area between cancers and
chronic infection, and discusses the epidemiology and molecular
biology of infectious causes of cancers. It also explores the
prevention and treatment of infection-related cancers, and brings
pathogenic research to the forefront in the never-ending endeavor
to understand how pathogens maneuver and negotiate in a complex
environment, including the micro/macro- environment of the human
host. Further, it highlights the urgent need for a concerted
program to develop vaccines and other diagnosis and interventions
that will eventually help prevent and treat infectious cancers,
and decrease their burden on human populations. It offers
graduate students and researchers a comprehensive overview of the
infectious causes of cancers.
