This journal focuses on research into viruses that cause or are associated with cancer. It covers the mechanisms by which viruses like human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and oncolytic viruses contribute to tumorigenesis, including viral oncoprotein functions, host cell interactions, and viral integration into the host genome. The journal also explores viral replication strategies, host metabolic adaptations to infection, and the development of antiviral and cancer therapies.
