EBV based cancer prevention and therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Epstein–Barr virus is an important cancer causing virus. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is an infection-related cancer strongly driven by Epstein–Barr virus. In this cancer model, we identified the major host targets of latent membrane protein 1 which is a driving oncogene encoded by Epstein–Barr...
