High-Risk Human Papillomaviral Oncogenes E6 and E7 Target Key Cellular Pathways to Achieve Oncogenesis.

TL;DR: Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus has been linked to several human cancers and the ability of these two viral factors to target many more cellular factors, including proteins which regulate epigenetic marks and splicing changes in the cell is demonstrated.

IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans

TL;DR: This timely monograph is a distillation of knowledge of hepatitis B, C and D, based on a review of 1000 studies by a small group of scientists, and it is concluded that hepatitis D virus cannot be classified as a human carcinogen.

The human papilloma virus-16 E7 oncoprotein is able to bind to the retinoblastoma gene product

TL;DR: The results suggest that these three DNA viruses may utilize similar mechanisms in transformation and implicate RB binding as a possible step in human papilloma virus-associated carcinogenesis.

Evidence for a Causal Association Between Human Papillomavirus and a Subset of Head and Neck Cancers

TL;DR: It is suggested that HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers comprise a distinct molecular, clinical, and pathologic disease entity that is likely causally associated with HPV infection and that has a markedly improved prognosis.
