Although the main thrust of each chapter is a standard literature review of high-quality review articles and individual research studies, th goes beyond literature review to discuss the science and emerging clinical implications of individual infectious agents in cancer, offerng insight on current and future methods of prevention. Six chapters are devoted to the transmission, carcinogenesis, diagnosis, and prevention of human papilloma virus (HPV); the remaining five chapters are devoted to five other infectious agents in cancer: hepatitis viruses, the bacterium H. Pylori, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus type 8, and human T-cell lymphotrophic virus. This structure allows HPV to serve as a paradigm for both the biological understanding and the prevention responses of each of the other infectious agents covered. Th will be useful for clinicians, researchers, epidemiologists, health care policymakers, and oncologists. Material originated as part of a Canadian national research project. Krueger teaches in the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
