Overview

The association between EBV and nasopharyngeal carcinoma was made in1970. In 1970, Zur Hausen and et al, were the first to extract EBV DNA from NPC tumors by using DNA hybridization method. In 1970, Henle and et al, revealed the link between stage of NPC tumors and EBV antibody titer. In 1973, Wolf and et al, found EBV DNA in NPC tumor cells by in situ hybridization methods but not in infiltrating lymphoid cells. Babe Ruth, a famous baseball player suffered from nasopharyngeal cancer.
