The 4 types of leukemia, the associated viruses, and co-carcinogenesis

Co-carcinogenesis : Rous' hypothesis requires a virus and a carcinogen together to start cancer.

My co-carcinogenesis takes his further:  Carcinogens inhibit polymerases.

(yes we have been told carcinogens cause DNA damage but I think their ability to inhibit polymerases causes most cancer. The cancers have patterns and are not that chaotic)

Alone a carcinogen would inhibit growth until a virus appears opens up the DNA and modifies the cell to create virus supplies for ever.  The problem is the carcinogen inhibits the viral polymerase better than the human polymerase.  So instead of the virus making what it wants the infected cell is transformed into a cancer cell.

There are 4 types of leukemia and they are associated with different viruses

Acute myeloid leukemia AML and flaviviruses

(HPV viruses may use the cannabinoid receptors and this group may be the group that cannabinoid, marijuana, helps)
