Among the large family of herpesviruses, two stand out for their oncogenic potential: the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). EBV is linked to various malignancies, including Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. KSHV is primarily associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease.
