At least 15–20% of all human tumors worldwide have a viral cause. The viruses that have been strongly associated with human cancers are listed in Table 43-1. They include human papillomaviruses (HPVs), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 8, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and two human retroviruses plus several candidate human cancer viruses. New cancer-associated viruses are being discovered by the use of molecular techniques. Many viruses can cause tumors in animals, either as a consequence of natural infection or after experimental inoculation.
