What Are the Risk Factors for Herpesvirus-Related Cancers?
Several factors can increase the risk of developing herpesvirus-related cancers. Immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy, are at higher risk. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors, such as exposure to carcinogens or chronic inflammation, also play a role. Additionally, certain demographic groups, like those from regions where these viruses are endemic, may have higher incidence rates.
