How do viruses cause cancer?
Once in a while the piece of circular dna breaks by accident and intergates in host chromosome.That makes E7 and E6 be released in high amounts to force the cells to keep replicating and not to die. The broken DNA makes it so the virus cannot turn off the expression of E7 and E6 causing over proliferation. Due to more replication the cells have more chances to become abnormal cancer cells that can take over Basal cells and spread.
