How Are EBV-Associated Cancers Diagnosed and Treated?
Diagnosis of EBV-associated cancers typically involves a combination of imaging studies, laboratory tests, and biopsy of affected tissues. Treatment varies based on the specific type and stage of cancer but often includes a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and sometimes surgery. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for certain EBV-related malignancies, leveraging the bodyâs immune system to target cancer cells more effectively.
