Study on the Role of Epstein-Barr Virus Playing in Nasopharyngeal Carcinogenesis

This paper summarized the results of “study on the role of Epstein Barr virus playing in nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis”, in which the author has taken part The results included 4 parts, namely, ① relationship between EB virus infection and nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis, ② correlation of EB virus serology with nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis, ③ the role of EB virus playing in EB virus associated neoplasms other than nasopharyngeal carcinoma, ④ the role of EB virus encoded products playing in nasopharyngeal carcinogensis This paper emphasizes the following viewpoints: ① the EB virus initially infects the dysplastic epithelial cells and might be an early event developed in nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis, ② the EB virus encoded LMP1 could play a critical role in nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis, ③ the serological diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma might become more efficient while using more than 2 kinds of antidody tests againt EB virus
