Humana Infectious Causes of Cancer - Targets for Intervention

Infectious Causes of Cancer: Targets for Intervention offers a deep look into the biological connections between infectious agents and cancer development. Edited by James J. Goedert and a team of leading experimental and clinical researchers, this text provides comprehensive surveys of the viruses, bacteria, and parasites that play major roles in cancer. By examining how these infections contribute to malignancies, the book opens pathways for identifying new therapeutic targets. The content focuses on five specific types of human carcinogenic infections: herpesviruses, retroviruses, papillomaviruses, hepatitis viruses, and H. pylori. Readers will find detailed reviews of associated malignancies and practical discussions on how to implement new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. This resource is designed for medical professionals and researchers looking for cross-disciplinary insights into how infectious diseases impact oncology and treatment strategies.
