Opis: Infections - R Newton

The possibility that some forms of tumourigenesis are a consequence of infection has provoked controversy for decades. The tools of molecular genetics and much careful epidemiology are now being employed in efforts to answer some of the outstanding questions. In this volume, an international group of experts survey tumours that have been associated with a range of micro-organisms, including viruses such as hepatitis and HIV, bacteria such as H.pylori and liver flukes, and provide a valuable summary of opinion on the relationship between these infections and malignant transformation.The global health burden of infection associated cancers; hepatitis B virus and liver cancer - unanswered questions; human papillomavirus and cancer - the viral transforming genes; HPV and cancer; Epstein-Barr virus and lymphomas; nasopharyngeal carcinoma - an epidemiological approach to carcinogenesis; Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus; human T-cell leukaemia virus type I (HTLV-I); hepatitis C virus; human immunodeficiency virus infection and cancer; is helicobacter pylori infection a cause of gastric neoplasia?; schistosomes and human cancer; liver flukes and liver cancer; vaccination against infectious agents associated with human cancer.
