Tumor virus infection leads to immortalization of the infected cell through deregulation of cellular homeostasis. Via expression of many potent oncoproteins tumor virus promote an aberrant cell-proliferation via modulating cellular cell-signaling pathways and escape from cellular defense system such as blocking apoptosis. Subsequently primary cancerous cells become metastatic through inhibiting cellular metastasis suppressor proteins.
