Article Synopsis
- Eight viruses are classified as carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to humans, including HPV, hepatitis B and C, EBV, HTLV-1, HHV-8, Merkel cell polyomavirus, and HIV-1.
- These viruses are linked to over 14,000 cancer cases annually in Morocco, but not everyone infected will develop cancer.
- Host genetic factors and lifestyle choices could influence the risk of cancer, suggesting that understanding these interactions may help in early detection and prevention strategies.
