Abstract

Various RNA viruses could lead to tumorigenesis. Since these viruses belong to different genera, they have evolved distinct mechanisms of tumorigenesis, with unique interactions among key oncoproteins, oncogenes and hosts factors. This article reviews the tumorigenic mechanism of two well-known human RNA tumor viruses, and explores the potential tumorigenic effects of SARS-CoV-2, which is also an RNA virus.
