Viral-associated cancers and disorders

This cluster of papers focuses on the incidence, risk factors, and management of viral-related cancers, particularly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), in immunocompromised individuals such as HIV/AIDS patients and transplant recipients. It explores the impact of immunosuppression, antiretroviral therapy, and viral reactivation on cancer development, as well as the use of targeted therapies and immune-based treatments for these malignancies.
