Abstract
This chapter begins with a brief account of the important events that have occurred during the history of viral oncology. After this is a description of the major subgroups of DNA and RNA oncogenic viruses followed by a discussion of the pathobiology and unifying features of viral oncogenesis and cell transformation. Next, there is a review of established animal models of human cancer and an examination of the most widely investigated oncogenic human viruses. Finally, the immunologic aspects of neoplasia are considered in some detail, concluding with remarks on the future perspectives in the field of viral oncology.
