The infectious nature of oncogenic viruses sets them apart from other carcinogenic agents. The studies of virus-associated head and neck cancers have provided many critical insights into key mechanisms of carcinogenesis. As such, a thorough study of both the pathogenesis of viral infection and the host response is crucial to a full understanding of the resulting cancer. Hence, in the present review, we aim to highlight some of important viruses and their role in carcinogenesis.
Key words: Carcinogenesis, Viruses.
