Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a human squamous cell cancer which arises in the surface epithelium of the posterior nasopharynx. The disease is common in certain regions of southern Asia, southern China, Taiwan, east and north Africa, and Alaska. Serological (1,2), DNA hybridization (3,4), and immunoblotting (5) studies suggested that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is closely associated with NPC. The direct evidence of EBV being the etiological agent for NPC has yet to be established.
