The cancer that was a result of the injection of cell-free filtrate is the most definitive proof that viruses can cause cancer. The difficulty however in observing viruses is one among the many causes of slow development of cancer etiology.
Offspring won't "catch" cancer from a parent, but many cancers seem to have a genetically linked predisposition. In other words, the disease itself can't be passed, but the risk can.
In a way, yes, you can indeed get rib cancer. There is a cancer called bone cancer and a rib is a bone, so, if you have bone cancer in your ribs, then you have rib cancer.
No. viruses are smaller and can only reproduce inside another living cellbacteria are bigger and can reproduce unaided. Also, viruses are nonliving.No. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms, while viruses are non-living, they consist of a string of DNA or RNA inside a protein coat.
Rapid and uncontrolled cell division is cancer.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1966 was divided equally between Peyton Rous for his discovery of tumour-inducing viruses and Charles Brenton Huggins for his discoveries concerning hormonal treatment of prostatic cancer.

Some can cause cancer. They are called oncogenic viruses.
Viruses are pathogens that cause diseases which leads to cancer.
NO! Are you kidding me? It's infections, your going to get viruses depending on the type of cancer you get. And cancer has viruses.
The pathogens that cause cancer are called, "Carcinogens."
no
Oncoviruses.
Smoking is a cancer-causing irritant which can trigger viruses. Smoking can cause allergies which can lead to a weakened immune system.
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.
Cancer is a disease, not a virus. Cancer is a complex group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. These abnormal cells can invade nearby tissues and organs, disrupting their normal function. Cancer can arise from almost any type of cell in the body and can occur in various organs and tissues. There are many different types of cancer, each with its causes, risk factors, and characteristics. Some common risk factors for cancer include genetic factors, exposure to carcinogens (such as tobacco smoke or ultraviolet radiation), unhealthy lifestyle choices (such as poor diet or lack of physical activity), and certain infections (such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B and C viruses, which can cause cervical cancer and liver cancer, respectively). Viruses, on the other hand, are infectious agents that can cause a variety of diseases, including some types of cancer. Certain viruses, known as oncogenic viruses, have the ability to integrate their genetic material into the DNA of host cells, leading to changes that can contribute to the development of cancer. Examples of oncogenic viruses include human papillomavirus (HPV), which is associated with cervical cancer and other cancers of the genital and head and neck areas, and hepatitis B and C viruses, which are linked to liver cancer. In summary, cancer is a disease characterized by the abnormal growth and spread of cells in the body, whereas viruses are infectious agents that can cause various diseases, including some types of cancer.
Cancer-causing viruses are known as oncogenic viruses or tumour viruses. These viruses can integrate their genetic material into the host cell's DNA, disrupting normal cellular functions and promoting uncontrolled cell growth, which can lead to the development of cancer. Examples of oncogenic viruses include human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV). These viruses can cause various types of cancer, such as cervical cancer (HPV), liver cancer (HBV and HCV), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (EBV), and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (HTLV).
Yes, there are carcinogenic viruses.
