The Role of Papillomaviruses in Human Anogenital Cancer

  • Chapter
The Papovaviridae

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

Since 1842 (Rigoni-Stern), numerous epidemiological studies point to an infectious event in the etiology of human cervical cancer (reviewed by: Rotkin, 1973; Kessler, 1977; zur Hausen, 1977). Venereal transmission of a carcinogenic factor with a long latency period has been postulated in many of these studies. Sexual promiscuity, early onset of sexual activity, and poor hygienic conditions appear to be the prime risk factors for cervical cancer.
