Abstract
The existence of EBV(+)HPV(â) carcinomas, the confirmed expression of latent oncoproteins (EBNA1, EBNA2, LMP1) and EBERs in tumor cells, and the association of EBV with the integration of high-risk-HPV DNA in malignant specimens point to EBV as a co-factor (so far underestimated) in the genesis and/or progression of cervical carcinoma. However, further studies are necessary before the link between EBV and cervical carcinoma can be established.
