CHEMORADIOTHERAPY OF VIRUS-ASSOCIATED TUMORS (CANCER OF THE HEAD AND NECK, CERVIX CANCER AND ANAL CANCER)

The data have been analyzed in the review of the literature on the epidemiology, clinical course, current approaches in the chemo-radiotherapy of patients with virus-associated tumors (head and neck cancer, cervix cancer and anal cancer). The presence of a complex interaction of human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus with the clinical course of the tumors with mentioned localizations and the multidirectional influence of the presence/ absence of the virus on the results of chemo-radiotherapy, has been demonstrated. The perspectives of possible changes in standard treatment protocols of patients with virus-associated tumors, including using new approaches in target- and immunotherapy, are shown.
