title: [The clinical usefulness of the serological study of IgG antibodies and IgA against the antigens associated with the Epstein-Barr virus in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
abstract: The relationship between nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been already well established. Titulation of the antibodies IgG and IgA against EBV-related antigens has been proved reliable but always suitable having tested and age-matched control population. We present here the preliminary results from the 14 patients bearing NPC and 12 patients with other carcinoma of the head and neck and healthy donors.
