Preface
Recent advances in the fields of molecular biology and epidemiology have led to
significant development of studying revelations between infectious agents and
cancer, and provide valuable insights into the molecular basis of carcinogenesis.
Since the first oncogenic virus was discovered by Rous in 1911, many infectious
agents including viruses, bacteria, and parasites are known to associate with about one-
fifth of all human cancers worldwide. Their impact on global health is significant.
Despite that the link between cancer and microbe infection has been recognized
in chickens over ten decades ago, the mechanistic basis for cell transformation
became clearer until 1970. The discoveries of oncogenes/proto-oncogenes and
tumor suppressors, as well as insights into cell growth factors, cell cycle regulation,
checkpoints, and their operative protein factors, further promoted the understanding
of infectious agents-associated cancers. Today in 2017, although close association
between viruses and cancer has been established only in seven human viruses (HBV,
HCV, HPV, HTLV, EBV, KSHV, and MCV), other infectious microbes including
HIV, bacteria (H. pylori), parasites (blood flukes/liver flukes), and prions as pre-
sented in many of the chapters in the book illustrate a potential association with a
variety of human cancers. The interplay between microbes and various microenvi-
ronment factors, including stress, inflammation, and deregulation of immune
responses, is currently a hot topic in the field of microbe-related cancer.
A few important scientific concepts detailed in the various chapters include the
animal tumor models, the coinfection of different microbes, the interplay between
microbe and microenvironmental stress, the multistepped process for cell transfor-
mation caused by infectious microbe, and the common and various mechanisms
used by different types of infectious microbes. From such mechanistic and transla-
tional research, we hope that safe and more effective therapeutic drugs or vaccines
against specific cancers will ensue in the future.
This book emerged from a desire to provide an up-to-date progress of human
cancers and their infectious causes. The editors have made great efforts to bring
together teams of expert authors from all aspects of infectious microbes associated
with cancer in this book. As tumor virologists, they have personally witnessed many
pivotal advances in infectious causes of human cancers. It is therefore appropriate
v
vi Preface
for them and all authors to review current and past exciting discoveries on human
infectious oncology, to share with a larger audience, particularly for colleagues and
students. To make the list of infectious agents complete, this book includes not only
viruses but also bacteria, parasites, and prions. However, the emphasis is on viruses,
as viruses have more complex interactions with hosts, and new breakthroughs in
oncovirology are to be expected.
I believe this book will help the readers to better understand the pathogenesis of
human cancers, particularly those that are associated with infectious microbes, and
assist in the development of new and more effective strategies toward prevention
and treatment of cancer in the future.
