Abstract:
Viral infections contribute to approximately 12% of cancers worldwide, with the vast majority occurring in developing countries and areas. Two DNA viruses, Epstein?Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV), are associated with 38% of all virus?associated cancers. The probability of one patient infected with these two distinct types of viruses is increasing. Here, we summarize the co?infection of EBV and HPV in human malignancies and address the possible mechanisms for the co?infection of EBV and HPV during tumorigenesis.
