Abstract
In this chapter, we briefly describe the general mechanisms of biological carcinogenesis. They can be divided into the three groups: metabolic mechanisms, immune mechanisms and mechanisms mediated by the carcinogenic activity of the bacterial and protozoan toxins. For the simplicity, we note only the very basic moments, since, according to our united opinion, only these issues are importaint for the conceptual understanding of the problem.
