Abstract

Background and aim: EBV is an important virus in the pathogenesis of NHL. VEGF-A is the essential factor in tumor angiogenesis. There is evidence of cross talk between angiogenesis and viral carcinogenesis. The viral latent protein LMP1, may play a role by inducing expression of angiogenic factors In this study EBV-LMP1 and VEGF-A expressions have been studied in cases with NHL and prognostic significance of these has been evaluated.
