致癌病毒在揭示癌症发展的复杂性方面发挥着独特的作用，因此在肿瘤学中发挥着关键作用。了解病毒在特定癌症中发挥的作用对于提供对转化过程的基本了解非常重要，这将有助于确定潜在的细胞治疗靶点。这篇综述讨论了动物疱疹病毒在引发和促进各种形式的癌症中的不同作用。我们将总结动物疱疹病毒诱发癌症的发展机制，这可能为未来开发潜在的治疗干预或预防策略提供基础。版权所有 © 2024 作者。由 Elsevier B.V. 出版。保留所有权利。

Oncogenic viruses play a pivotal role in oncology due to their unique role in unraveling the complexities of cancer development. Understanding the role viruses play in specific cancers is important to provide basic insights into the transformation process, which will help identify potential cellular targets for treatment. This review discusses the diverse role of animal herpesviruses in initiating and promoting various forms of cancer. We will summarize the mechanisms that underlie the development of animal herpesvirus-induced cancer that may provide a basis for developing potential therapeutic interventions or preventative strategies in the future.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
