Some viruses can cause cancer
The first link between certain viruses and the occurrence of cancer was seen in relation to the Epstein-Barr virus (which is the cause of infectious mononucleosis).
This virus causes African Burkitt's lymphoma.
The hepatitis B virus can cause liver cancer.
The carcinogenic role of retroviruses such as HIV is already well understood.
Cervical cancer occurs more frequently in women who have had papillomavirus infections.
