Molecular Signatures of Infectious Agents in Cancer

The proceedings of this workshop were aimed at identifying molecular signatures of infectious agents and to use this information for risk assessment and development of prevention strategies against these infectious agents. The objectives of the workshop were to review state-of-the-science in detection technology that can identify extraneous genomic insertion in human cancers and to establish future research directions for using the molecular signatures of infectious agents for early detection, risk assessment, and prevention of cancer.
