Epstein-Barr Virus and Cancer Risks
Sponsor: Sun Yat-sen University
Summary
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the associations between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antibody levels and the risk of overall and site-specific cancer types in Southern China. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: In addition to the established EBV-associated cancer types, such as lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and stomach cancer, whether EBV is associated with other cancer types? Question 2: What's the cancer burden attributed to EBV in Southern China?
