In recent years, it has become apparent that one long-term consequence of infection is cancer. Infection-related malignancies account for three of the most important causes of cancer morbidity and mortality in the world: cancers of the cervix, stomach, and liver. This book reviews the work being done in this area, documenting the associations between specific micro-organisms and malignancy. It covers the mechanisms by which chronic infection can cause cancer, and details what is known about individual viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents that cause malignancy with respect to epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical implications for cancer treatment and prevention.
