Epstein-Barr virus is associated with lymphomas (endemic Burkitt Lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, CNS B-cell lymphoma), nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and lymphoproliferative disease in transplant patients. (FA2020 p164)

Here is a chart of virus-associated cancers and their viruses. Also found FA2020 p226.

  • CMV is not associated with cancer but is associated with AIDS retinitis and esophagitis.
  • Hepatitis B is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • HHV-8 is associated with Kaposi sarcoma in AIDS patients (an endothelial neoplasm, FA2020 p478)
  • HTLV-1 (human T-CELL...) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia
