But apart from rare correlations (such as that between the Herpes simplex II virus and cervical cancer in women), researchers could not establish a general cause and effect relationship between viruses and cancer. Recent advances in the field of genetic engineering have paralleled a surge of interest in the possibility of a genetic cause of cancer. But apart from circumstancial evidence for genetic causes of such rare cancers as Burkitt's lymphoma (as Harvard recently announced), the possibility...
