Article Synopsis
- A follow-up screening study evaluated the long-term significance of positive Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNA results in individuals previously screened for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).
- Out of 17,838 participants rescreened, 423 had persistently detectable EBV DNA, which led to the identification of 24 cases of NPC, with a significantly higher proportion being early-stage cancers compared to historical data.
- The results indicate that individuals with detectable EBV DNA were considerably more likely to be diagnosed with NPC in subsequent screenings, highlighting the potential of EBV DNA analysis for improvement in early detection and survival rates.
