Special Issue Information
Dear Colleauges,
Cancers invites authors to submit papers for a Special Issue on the topic of “Virus-Associated Cancers”. The key goals of this Special Issue are to share updated knowledge on tumor virus–host interactions, cell transformation and cancer mechanisms, biomarkers, diagnosis, and cancer therapies. Recent progress regarding the roles of viral coinfections with viruses, such as Polyomaviruses, HPVs, EBV, KSHV, and HIV in cancer development are topics appropriate for this Special Issue. The role of the bacterial microbiome in relation to inflammation, tumor niche, and virally caused cancers would be of interest for this Special Issue. Manuscripts describing mechanistic, epidemiological, or clinical cancer studies, particularly in Low-Middle-Income-Countries (LMICs) are relevant for this Special Issue. The journal will consider original research or review articles.
Dr. Peter C. Angeletti
