Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viruses are infectious agents made up of DNA or RNA which are enclosed in a coat of protein. They infect a variety of living organisms, including animals and humans, and induce severe diseases with the capacity to develop into various types of cancer; these types of viruses are called tumor viruses. Over the past two decades, extensive investigations have been conducted regarding RNA and DNA tumor viruses and their linked cancers, leading to significant findings related to controlling infections with these viruses and their correlated malignancies. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to collect all of the recent studies regarding tumor viruses and their linked cancers with a special focus on disease onset, carcinogenesis, molecular and cellular mechanisms, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment options.
