Individuals who tested positive for EBV VCA-IgA antibodies were found to have a higher risk of developing cancers such as lung cancer, liver cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and lymphoma; the association with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was the strongest.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ji MF, He YQ, Tang MZ, Xue WQ, Yu X, Diao H, et al.<br \/>\r\nEpstein Barr virus antibody and cancer risk in two prospective cohorts in Southern China<br \/>\r\n<em>Nat Commun<\/em>.
