Certain viruses can cause human cell DNA denaturization which leaves them vunerable to certain cancers. One example of this is the Human-Pamplona Virus (HPV). This virus is responsible for genital warts and can leave females with a highly elevated risk of cervical cancer. Viruses are not the only way to denature human cellular DNA...other ways include carcinogenic chemicals and radiation. If you strip it down to basic biology; cancer is a simple concept to grasp. After a cell's DNA has been altered; it will begin non-specific cell replication (tumor formation). If left unchecked; these tumor cells spread like weeds in a garden. Eventually starving healthy cells of nutrients and life.

Research has been done that suggests that there is a virus connected with a lot of cancers. I forget what it's called now, though.
