Oncogenic Viruses Volume 2: Medical Applications of Viral Oncology Research

Oncogenic Viruses: Medical Applications of Viral Oncology Research builds on the introductory overview of Volume 1. Volume 2 looks at recent advances and medical application of research studies on oncoviruses. This includes examining oncoviruses on a molecular level which includes their lytic and lysogenic viral lifecycles and mechanisms of action. The book also covers diagnostic and prognostic viral biomarkers and identifying biomarkers in specific human cancers. and the future direction of oncovirology. Prevention and treatment are also addressed and includes topics such as future of cancer therapy of oncoviruses, antiviral activities, and vaccination strategies. The research advances topics and the future direction of oncovirology rounds out the book. Oncogenic Viruses: Medical Applications of Viral Oncology Research is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioner engaged in the learning more about the role of oncogenic viruses in the pathogenesis of human cancers and how that information can be applied to identify strategies for prevention and treatment.
