Tumor-initiating viruses often target RB1 for inactivation. What advantage would a virus gain by inactivating RB function in the host cell? Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an example of a virus that inactivates RB and causes tumors. Which cancer is HPV infection most closely associated with? How is HPV able to inactivate RB?

Regardless of how they become cancerous, the same general pattern is followed. Put the steps of cancer development in order from first to last. 1. A cell begins to grow and divide uncontrollably.2. The cell metastasizes and moves through the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body.3. Part of the tumor breaks off and is now malignant.4. The benign tumor is confined to one place.5.
