EBV belongs to human gamma-herpesviruses which are able to establish latency in lymphocyte. About more than 95% of adults are carriers of the virus. A common disease caused by EBV is mononucleosis. Besides, EBV can transform and cause cancer. Every year, there are 200,000 new cases of cancer and more than 140,000 deaths worldwide.

Topic of Controversy Human Papiloma (HPV) infects about 14 million Americans a year; however, only certain strains of the virus—known as high risk strains—are carcinogenic (Vaccinating Your Preteen or Teen, 2015). Others are more or less benign. Cervical cancer in females is the major carcinoma linked to high risk strains of HPV which can be transmitted through sexual contact. Other cancers associated with the virus include vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal and oropharyngeal cancer (Vaccinating…

The disease of the skeletal system I chose was plasmacytoma (with some mentions of myeloma). My article includes a case study with a 44yr old male named Mr.J.

Approximately 80% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, with most of the rest being adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer is caused by the sexually transmitted HPV, which is the most common viral…

rarely lead to cancer, medical researchers believe that other factors are involved in the development of cervical cancer. Repeated or constant HPV infections raise the chances of developing the cancer. Precancerous cell changes of the cervix are more common among women who become infected with more than one type of HPV. Moreover, women who smoke cigarettes are twice as likely to develop cervical cancer than those women who don’t smoke. Other risk factors include race, the cancer is less…
