Abstract
Embarking on the dynamic landscape of oncology, this chapter navigates the interface between emerging concepts and transformative advancements in cancer research. It delves into the intricate symbiosis of viruses and cancers, spotlighting the diverse roles of small DNA tumor viruses, RNA oncoviruses, and their diagnostic potential. Additionally, the discourse examines the evolving vistas of cancer genetics, accentuating the significance of oncogenes and their interactions with energy metabolism pathways. By traversing these complex dimensions, the chapter contributes to an enriched understanding of contemporary oncobiological paradigms.
