What is Oncogenic Viruses about?
Oncogenic viruses can disrupt normal cellular proliferation, leading to cancer through mutations in oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. There are two main classes of tumor viruses: DNA tumor viruses and RNA tumor viruses (retroviruses), each with distinct life cycles and mechanisms of causing cancer. Specific viruses, such as human papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus, are associated with various human cancers, highlighting the role of viral infections in oncogenesis.
