The interplay of dietary mycotoxins and oncogenic viruses toward human carcinogenesis: a scoping review.

Background: Mycotoxins, fungal metabolites prevalent in many foods, are recognized for their role in carcinogenesis, especially when interacting with oncogenic viruses.

Objectives: This scoping review synthesizes current evidence on the human cancer risk associated with mycotoxin exposure and oncogenic virus infections.

Methods: Searches were conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.
