Investigation of the relationship of Epstein-Barr virus with in situ hybridization in renal-cell carcinomas

- In some cases of renal cell carcinomas, the underlying risk factor is still unknown.
- We found a significant correlation between the tumor subtypes EBER positivity in the tumor cells.
- Intravascular tumor thrombosis was also less common in the patients with EBER positivity in peripheral renal parenchymal tubular epithelial cells
- The EBER positivity was also found in renal tubular epithelium in 27 of 78 cases.
