Oncogenes, tumor suppressors and viruses in oral squamous carcinoma

C Scully. J Oral Pathol Med. 1993 Sep.

Abstract

The pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma involves recognised carcinogens in tobacco and/or alcohol but other factors, including viruses, may also have a role. This paper reviews the gene changes revealed in oral carcinoma, the evidence implicating viruses, and mechanisms whereby viruses may affect gene function.
