EBV-positive gastric carcinomas in Poland.
Epstein-Barr virus plays a substantial role in numerous human neoplasms including gastric carcinoma, as proved recently. In our series EBV has been detected in five cases of forty (12.5%) gastric carcinomas. It may indicate that Poland is one of the countries with the highest EBV-induced gastric carcinoma incidence worldwide.
