Focusing on the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, this book examines their critical roles in the malignant transformation of cells associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). It delves into the mechanisms by which these proteins induce cellular proliferation and contribute to cancer development in the anogenital tract, oral cavity, and skin. The comprehensive analysis highlights the significance of understanding these proteins in the context of HPV-related cancers.

Human Papillomavirus has been associated with cancer of the anogenital tract, oral cavity and skin. Two early viral proteins, E6 and E7, play a key role in the malignant transformation of the cell. This book covers different aspects of these two viral oncoproteins. In particular, it focuses on their mechanism in the induction of cellular proliferation and malignant transformation.
