The material highlights critical pathogens such as the human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B and C, and Epstein-Barr virus, detailing their global epidemiological impact and specific links to malignancies like cervical and liver carcinomas. Beyond viral factors, the source explores how environmental risks, including obesity, alcohol consumption, and diet, synergize with infections to accelerate tumorigenesis. The chapters provide an in-depth look at molecular biology, illustrating how viral oncoproteins disrupt cell cycle regulation and tumor suppressor genes. Finally, the text addresses modern challenges and solutions, covering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncology and the vital role of vaccination and gene therapy in cancer prevention.
