Infectious Causes of Cancer, aimed principally at nurses and other healthcare professionals, considers the epidemiology and biology of infectious causes of cancer. It examines each of the infectious agents associated with an increased risk of cancer, discussing epidemiology of the infection and cancer, pathophysiology of the cancer, mechanisms, associated risk factors, and prevention of the infection and cancer.

Key Features:

• A comprehensive and accessible guide to infection associated cancer and how to contribute to prevention
• A must-have for students or healthcare professionals working in oncology, primary care or health promotion
