EBV: ubiquitous herpesvirus implicated in the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphomas, B-cell lymphomas in patients with T-cell immunosuppression (HIV infection, transplant recipients), and several other cancers # The EBV genome harbors several genes encoding proteins that trigger B cell signaling pathways; in conce, these signals are potent inducers of B cell growth and transformation. # In the absence of T-cell immunity, EBV-infected B cells can rapidly "grow out" as aggressive B-cell tumors. # In the presence of normal T-cell immunity, a small fraction of infected patients develop EBV-positive B-cell tumors (Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma) or carcinomas (nasopharyngeal, gastric carcinoma) Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus: cause of between 70% and 85% of hepatocellular carcinomas worldwide # Oncogenic effects are multifactorial; dominant effect seems to be immunologically mediated chronic inflamma- tion, hepatocellular injury,
