TLDR
Activation of adjacent cellular genes by retroviral DNA can involve mechanisms other than provision of a transcriptional promoter in the vicinity of a putative cellular oncogene.
Abstract
Proviruses of avian leukosis virus (ALV) are located in the vicinity of a putative cellular oncogene (c-myc) in ALV-induced bursal lymphomas. Enhanced expression of c-myc occurs in association with proviruses found in any of three configurations: (I) on the 5′ side (‘upstream’) of c-myc in the same transcriptional orientation; (II) on the 3′ side (‘downstream’) of c-myc in the same orientation; (III) upstream, in the transcriptional orientation opposite to that of c-myc. Thus, activation of adjacent cellular genes by retroviral DNA can involve mechanisms other than provision of a transcriptional promoter.

Tumorigenic conversion of primary embryo fibroblasts requires at least two cooperating oncogenes.

TL;DR: The embryo fibroblasts become tumorigenic if a second oncogene such as a viral or cellular myc gene or the gene for the polyoma large-T antigen is introduced together with the ras gene.

The c- myc oncogene driven by immunoglobulin enhancers induces lymphoid malignancy in transgenic mice

TL;DR: Transgenic mice bearing the cellular myc oncogene coupled to the immunoglobulin μ or κ enhancer frequently develop a fatal lymphoma within a few months of birth and constitutive c-myc expression appears to be highly leukaemogenic at several stages of B-cell maturation.

Many tumors induced by the mouse mammary tumor virus contain a provirus integrated in the same region of the host genome.

TL;DR: It is proposed that tumorigenesis by MMTV is strongly favored by proviral insertion within the int1 locus, perhaps as a consequence of enhanced expression of a novel cellular oncogene.
