Epstein-Barr Detection in Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Healthy Oral Mucosa


Epstein-Barr virus has been implicated in a range of malignant neoplasms, including in some

cancer remains unclear. This study will examine the prevalence of EBV infection in oral
cancer by means of nested polymerase chain reaction.
