Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) arises in the lining of the nasal cavity and pharynx.[2,3] This tumor accounts for about one-third of all cancers of the upper airways.

EBV has also been found to play a role in the development of Burkitt's lymphoma (a rare form of lymphoma or cancer of the lymph system) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (cancer of the nose and throat) in humans.
Nasopharyngeal cancer (also called nasopharyngeal carcinoma or NPC) is a disease of the nasopharynx, which is the air passageway at the upper part of the pharynx (throat) behind the nose.
The development of two other rare types of cancer-Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma-appears to be associated with EBV.

It causes infectious mononucleosis and has been associated with certain cancers, including Burkitt lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Also called Epstein-Barr virus.

Other serious complications related to EBV include nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Burkitt's lymphoma. Individuals with AIDS may develop tongue lesions (oral hairy leukoplakia) associated with EBV.
EBV Epstein-Barr virus. A common virus that remains dormant in most people. It has been associated with certain cancers, including Burkitt's lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
However, reactivation of latent virus is only thought to occur in immunocompromised patients such as AIDS patients. EBV is the cause of oral hairy leucoplakia, Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, ...
