The deadly term Cancer is just the name provided to a group of more than 100 diseases. All the group of diseases though covers a kind of cancer, as all the types initially begins by a creating of abnormal cell growth that goes out of control, which when untreated can cause serious illness and death. Normally, the cells in the body grow, divide to make new cells, and die in a systematic manner.

There are viruses that can lead to cancer, as viruses are composed of small number of genes in the form of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coating. Generally, virus attacks tend to infect only a particular type of cell in the body and causes fever, cough, and cold. On the other, there are several viruses responsible to cause cancer in humans. Cancer virus can be seen as:

  • Human Papilloma Viruses (HPV’s): This type of virus is a group of more than 150 viruses called as papilloma viruses as some of them can cause papillomas that can be seen as warts. HPV generally grows on the skin, while others grow in mucous membranes, such as mouth, throat, or vagina.
  • Epstein Barr Virus (EBV): This type of herpes virus is known for causing infectious mononucleosis also called as mono or kissing disease. This type of virus can be communicated via coughing, sneezing, or by sharing drinks or utensils.
  • Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): This type of virus cause viral hepatitis, which results in liver infection. HBV and HCV can cause a long-term infection that increases a person’s chance of liver cancer.
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): This type of virus causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and doesn’t appear to cause cancers directly. HIV infected persons has most of the changes of getting several types of cancers that links to other viruses.
  • Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV-8): This type of virus is also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) and is found in nearly all tumors in patients with Kaposi Sarcoma (KS). KS is a very slow growing cancer that appears as reddish-purple or blue-brown tumors on the skin.
  • Human T-Lymphotrophic Virus-1 (HTLV-1): This type of virus that is linked with a type of lymphocytic leukemia and non-hodgkin lymphoma called adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). This type of virus is mostly found in Caribbean, Japan, Africa, and America.
  • Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCV): This type of virus causes rare and aggressive skin cancer that initially shows no symptoms but infects the DNA and is transmitted through saliva.
