Genetic variations and clinical significance in young-onset nasopharyngeal cancer: Analysis of EBV interaction with cellular receptor variants and viral glycoproteins.

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), although rare in young individuals worldwide, is significantly influenced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Considering EBV's widespread prevalence, understanding its role in NPC's future occurrence, disease progression, clinical symptoms, metastatic tendencies, and prognosis is crucial. In this study, we extensively analyzed two young patients with NPC, who displayed distinct clinical features.
