Viral Oncology cover

Clinical oncologists and researchers now have a comprehensive single source of current information on cancer viruses obtained from bench and bedside. This important refernce allows further development of translational approaches for the effective treatment of patients with virus-associated malignancies. The book contains 25 chapters covering basic and clinical aspects of viruses, including HPV, HBV, HCV, polyomaviruses, Kaposi’s associated viruses, retroviruses (including HIV-1 associated malignancies), and EBV. Several chapters are devoted to basic science of oncogenic viruses for the study of their pathogenesis, drug development, and employment of viral vectors for vaccine and gene therapy. Clinical materials are embedded within chapters, and there are also complementary, clinically based chapters describing natural courses and treatments.

"The book is addressed to medical students as well as clinical scientists and students of molecular biology. In a rapidly growing field it is a great advantage to have all this valuable information in one volume." (Journal Tropical Ped, 2012)

"I would recommend this book to all interested in the role that viruses play in cancer development, students and experienced researchers alike." (Society for General Microbiology, July 2010)
