Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Carcinoma of the Larynx: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Over the past few decades, several publications have investigated the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, and an increasing number of them have shown its presence in laryngeal tumors. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of EBV wit...
